How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC

How much has DAC technology advanced in the last decade or more?

Is my Schiit Modi 3+ better than the Musical Fidelity M1 DAC?

And secondly: how much can be 'gained' by spending 3-4x times the value of those 2?

That’s not to say all new DACs are better than all old DACs. Each case is different. But in general the cost of a very good DAC is much lower now than 10 years ago. Never use price alone to judge and this is a very good example why.
