DAC improvements slowing down?

24/192 optical in
24/96 USB

It seems like those two figures would be the highest values most supposedly audiophiles need to have capable.

Beyond that how are DACs going to be a game changer? Most sources are regular CDs and streaming audio, no SACD for 99% of us supposedly audiophiles.

I read that people recommend using an external DAC as the technology is constantly improving but have we hit the point of diminishing returns or is there a good argument for using an External DAC still?

Just got a Metrum Hex dac and it is definitely the best dac I have heard. There are a lot of good dacs out there at all different price points nad they all perform really well. I think digital at this time is defitely the best it has ever been. We just need better source material. Too many crappy recordings are being made
