Downside to R2R Ladder DACs?

A sales person I generally trust told me to steer clear of used R2R DACs, since their reliance on high precision resistors causes them to sound best when new, and degrade fairly quickly. It seems reasonable; have others had any experience with this?

Hi,
I have A/B tested 89 different DACs and your sales persons is just selling you. R2R DACs are my favorite and I have never heard any of them deteriorate with usage.

Cheers,
