High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it.

Something that came as a surprise to me is how good DAC's have gotten over the past 5-10 years.

Before then, there was a consistent, marked improvement going from Redbook (44.1/16) to 96/24 or higher.

The modern DAC, the best of them, no longer do this. The Redbook playback is so good high resolution is almost not needed. Anyone else notice this?

Great discussion!
Any opinions on the NAD M51 DAC?
I sold my Benchmark and got this three years ago.  Dunno if it is better as I sold the Benchmark first and did not do an A/B comparison
