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?

Tangential/hijack question: I’m using an Oppo 105 as a transport/streamer into a Schiit Gungnir. What’s a good DAC upgrade from the Schitt in the $1K range?

@kraftwerkturbo the Gumby outperforms that oppos internal DAC by leaps and bounds. It just opens up the music and adds depth to such a greater extent.
