"But the 2.1 has been selling for over 20 years..."
Would you buy a 20 year old computer?
If you are going to buy a DAC I would suggest the latest and greatest. Buy the expensive model if you wish, but also try a cheap one, something that doesn't seem like it should work well and then compare. You may end up returning that $5k DAC and going with the $500 one as it sounds just as good or even better, or you may not even be able to distinguish between them.
I went to a DIY audio get-together at the warehouse of a used equipment reseller. There was vintage gear everywhere, stuff that we could only dream of owning back in the day. He demo'ed a number of his favorite items. But what did he use as a digital source? Roon, I believe running on a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge (we were in Brooklyn after all) Nothing vintage for digital. He handed an iPad to us as a controller. This was after playing my Amy Winehouse LP.
