Yes DACs should last many many years but technology moves ahead quickly especially like others have stated connectivity. Look for companies that constantly update products. My dac originally didn't have an Ethernet connection (wasn't even a thing many yrs ago) then streaming came out and had my dac updated to accept Ethernet.
What is the average life expectancy of a DAC?
Hello folks,
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?
Thanks!
