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

I use the current Modi+ for my desktop, and it’s terrific...never heard the older Modi3+ ...

Now I need to find a cheap yet MASSIVE vintage transport. Wish I had kept the 80 lb monster MSB Technology Laser Disc Transport LS1 Gold. That would have gone well with the M1.

Musical Fidelity will probably outlast a Modi.

Prior to that I'd say a great deal.  In the last 10 years though?  Not in my mind.

The advent of cheap femto clocks and DACs which do much better with Redbook (44.1kHz/16 bit stereo) than the previous generation happened around 2000 or so. 

After that I think it's all taste making rather than actual improvements in tech.

Prove me wrong by sending me the latest dCS stack to listen to for a couple of years.
