Will Quantum computing change the DAC game (in our lifetimes)?


As top-end DAC technology has crossed the $100,000 line (MSB Select II fully loaded), we owe it to ourselves to ask where the technology is going before making a very substantial investment in our never-ending quest for sonic perfection.  Is there a likelihood Quantum computing (going beyond “0” and “1”) will impact the streaming of music anytime soon?  Do we know if anyone is working on this?  Some DACs claim to be future-proofed, but I question whether any binary (0/1) digital processor would be able to accommodate quantum?  How do we quantify the risk current DAC technology becomes obsolete?  Or, is the answer simply something along the lines of that old adage “if you have to ask ...” you should have stuck to vinyl?
