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.ย

Actually, that $700 outlay for a decent stereo would be much more today.

$700 in 1966 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $6,570.65 today, an increase of $5,870.65 over 57 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 4.01% per year between 1966 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 838.66%.

All said, that amount would get you a mighty fine system today.

Actually one could as those units are highly praised by vinyl enthusiasts and reviewers for how beautiful it sounds when playing records back through them.

With the SU-R1000, you can pick from a variety of vinyl settings as well as match your favorite 3 cartridges using the "record" provided to level match it to the integrated.
