With the recent profusion of relatively inexpensive DACs that are now available, I'm wondering what the average life expectancy of a good DAC is? Or, to put it another way, is it cost-effective to invest in a high(ish) end DAC like a Denafrips Terminator or a Halo May with the expectation that it will last at least 5 or more years?
My JVC QL-Y55F turntable is 40 years old and still performs as new. And you’re all questioning if you can get 5 years out of a dac? Thank goodness for turntables.
