DACs today are generally better than in the 1990s..... But my favorite DACs are still from the 1990s......
I think the radio-frequency interference from higher bit rates of newer DACs have in large part negated the advances in filter algorithms of recent time......
I do think half the problem is that today's designers have had too much "overprocessed" music to deal with in evaluating their products, and fewer designers actually have access to good analog recordings and live music as a reference.....
