How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC


How much has DAC technology advanced in the last decade or more? 

Is my Schiit Modi 3+ better than the Musical Fidelity M1 DAC? 

And secondly: how much can be 'gained' by spending 3-4x times the value of those 2?

I have a Oppo 105, a Schiit Yiggy , and a Schiit Uber Bifrost that’s almost 10 years old. The old Bifrost is significantly better than the Oppo. My Yiggy is off to Schiit for a Unison card and the Bifrost also bests the DAC in my Innuos Pulse Mini and my Cambridge DAC Magic 200. Avoid the original Bifrost, but the Uber or newer punches way above its price point ! Cheers, Mike B.
