When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?

A humorous title, but wondering if those more in the know have an opinion on either: i) examples today where inexpensive DACs (say under $2500) are comparable or superior to expensive (say over $10K) DACs or ii) can we anticipate that within a relatively few number of years that inexpensive DACs will basically achieve the sound quality of today's expensive DACs? Thanks.

If everyone actually enjoys music (which I truly hope), isn't that all that matters?  I love LIVE music, Spotify through my Blowz NC headphones on the plane, Spotify @ work on my crappy laptop and Qobuz on my budget (to most) systems at home. It has always been an important part of my life and many memories are marked with music...or vice-versa.  

The music is the point - not trying to figure out if that $10K DAC is 4 times better than a $2.5K DAC.  :-)
