"Bottom line: newer is probably better, IMHO."
My experiences have been to the contrary, but at least DACs in the past 2 or 3 years have shown noticeable improvement over the ones marketed 5 to 10 years ago. But the best I've heard is still 1990s vintage.

I will agree Todd-
the 1990's was a special decadefor digital!
Generally speaking, I'm a big fan of 1990s stuff, and earlier.
But not digital. Can you cite some specific players/DACs that prove your point?
Just as a frame of reference, it took me a LONG time to find a CD player I considered even remotely listenable, and while I found the 1990s players (and one non-oversampling DAC) a definite improvement, they couldn't come close to my vinyl and tape setups. Now they do. By "they," I mean the digital players/DACs of my self and a number of audiobuddies.
