Indeed it does.
One should not be flipping switches on their DACs, trying to find different and perhaps better sound.
They should be swapping out their DACs, keeping the wheels cf the audio equipment industry rolling! :-)

You are welcome to do all that flipping and trying if you choose. I find it numbing.
The inference about my motives is unfounded as this is a purely personal preference. If you knew me better, you would see that I not fickle in my choices.
Most of my audio gear is over a decade old, that's with the exception of computer/streaming stuff which is a relatively new to me.
Plus I have never subscribed to an audio journal and would have never had a copy of one in my hands except for the fact that they give them away free at audio shows.
I currently have BOTH Stereophile AND Absolute Sound around here someplace, thanks to the California Audio Show a week or two ago.
Do you have a piece in one of them?
I don't know what issue you have, so I cannot say. As a reviewer, it is necessary for me to have reference equipment and that means that it needs to be of recent manufacture to be relevant to the reader. Also, I need keep up with new technology.
That said, I just changed the speakers in my CT house for the first time in about a decade and the main power amp there was purchased in 2000. One of the amps I use every day in the NYC system was purchased in 1995. OTOH, I change among EQs, DACs and file-streaming stuff more frequently because the technology is changing rapidly. I don't change cables unless absolutely necessary.
