Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days?

I think the problem of DAC for quality audio has been pretty much universally solved.  Not to say all DACs are equal, they aren’t, but do any that really matter these days not sound “good”?

I was just watching a you tube video on the $160 Fiio K11 R2R DAC.

I don't think that there has ever been in audio a type of audio component where the difference in sound quality between a budget piece (DAC) and very expensive piece (DAC) is so small compared to the huge disparity in price.

I do understand why people don't care about diminishing returns when buying expensive DACs.
