do i need a new DAC

i have a NAD D1050 which is now 5 years old but still sounds fantastic.  just upgraded my amp to the new Rega Brio 3.  was considering a Chord, Rega, or the new Audiolab MDAC+.  but i can't imagine it making much of a difference. for a DAC that is 5 years old the little NAD is holding up well?  what has happen in the last 5 years?  have their really been such great strides in digital playback made? i think SS is evolving faster.  any suggestions?
thanks,

Dacs are like any other component , A tone control . No two will sound exactly the same . Some will be bass heavier , more treble than the next one. ect....

Keep that NAD on hand to do comparisons . Buy used , buy smart and enjoy and learn from your own experience .
