Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well

Hello,
whether it’s worth looking into old dac such as
Spectral SDR 2000,
Mark Levinson No.35 (36)
or so Sonic Frontiers Sfd-2 Mk2 DAC.

Digital audio is the fasted moving, now improving category out there
Because to this day they have no usb connection or other options.
But is it necessary?
Or is it better to still focus on a truly time-tested sound?

I own 6 DACS of varying shapes sizes and usages, ranging in price from $100 to $500, and I sheepishly admit that I can't hear any differences between them.

That said; I can hear the difference between a budget DAC/amp and a pure DAC paired with a decent amp.

 My most recent purchase was the Gustard X16 because I wanted a decent DAC with Bluetooth for my YouTube friends.
