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.

A border patrol dac is all you need, if you like your music to sound more warm and natural. Takes the nasty edge off of red book cd playback. Loving mine.

 

Yep. Same.  Received my new custom order BorderPatrol SE-I DAC this week. Has the Beez Wax caps and new Choke design. Tube not in signal path, part of Power Supply regulation only. It’s a different presentation and type of sound compared to all of my former R2R chip tube and non-tube dacs. It's been fun to rediscover music again, thanks to this dac. 

Easy listening. 👍
