Admittedly, the type of music you listen to, as well as the file format, will contribute to whether a more expensive DAC pays off. I think that if you listen to Van Halen MP3s while you're vacuuming the rug, one DAC is the same as the next. Nothing wrong with Van Halen, mind you -I just don't think it's the kind of music to judge an audio component with. Unless it's sound reinforcement gear. IMO, you need to be listening to acoustic music recorded at full bandwidth (CD quality at least)with some attempt at fidelity to appreciate the difference between a $500 DAC and something more expensive. Then you may hear the spaces between the notes, the accuracy of timbre of the instruments, the small vocalization sounds, etc. I think this kind of stuff matters to a very small percent of the population - although I would think that anyone owning Leben and Devore would be in that group.
