Several forces at work here.
Sure, TODAYS product might or maybe even SHOULD sound better than the same 'thing' from 2, 3 or even 5 years ago. Don't doubt for a second the subtle and NOT so subtle progress being made.
The 2nd factor is the 'more expensvie MUST be better' line of thought. If my thought, above, is correct, no reason at ALL for a 1000$ DAC today to not outperform the same price point from a few years back AND probably even 2x or 3x that price. From a few years ago.
You can make your OWN allowances for the fact of Inflation. Figure maybe 20% since 2006. That 1000 DAC in 2006 is about 1200$ in TODAYs money.
Too much is never enough
