Why are DAC's so much more expensive than transports?


DAC's looks less expensive to make, yet Stereophile "A" DAC's commonly run over 10K while top rated transports are around 3K.

DAC's are the component that determines the sound character. So, the amount of effort components to carefully craft the sound vs just spin a disk and stream the bits is simpler.
