Is there anything sadder than an old DAC?

No matter how "future proof" some DACs are purportedly designed, digital technology marches inexorably and rapidly forward, with shiny new "breakthroughs" being heralded quite regularly. (See anything by Robert Harley.)

Creating the inescapable impression that any DAC--even a pricey, future proof one--has approximately the long-term viability (and investment value) of my current MacBook Pro laptop.

Which is to say: good luck trying to sell the thing when the next breakthrough arrives.
