Dac: Old vs New


I have older DAC's that sound good but I've had them for several years. Benchmark DAC 1 and PS Audio Digital Link III with Mods. Would a newer DAC from, Topping (DX-5), Schiit (Modi Multibit 2)or SMSL, be a SIGNIFICANT improvement in sound? Seems like the newer DAC's have way more resolution and transparency. I prefer those attributes in gear over warmth.

There is so much better technologies in digital advancements over the last 4 years 

depending too on your budget , any of the Denafrips  dacs brings good value,

as well as most Holo springs , Gustards new R26  dac is great value ,

to get imo a truly good reference dac roughly around $5k and up . The best dac I have heard and have heard allthe above and on my buying list is the $7k T+A 200 dac it is as good if not better then any dac at 2x it’s cost .
