Conventional DAC

Is it still worth to buy 44.1 DAC?
For the same price, I think 44.1 DAC is better than 24/96 DAC, the one with 24/96 function that people can rarely take advantage in playing ordinary CD.

My remark mostly refers to said "whatever"..sans...and with 24/96. I remember a while back you were mentioning the distance to Theta from NZ,and how long you'd be without the dac Then I told you I live 15 mi. away; and had the 24/96 done to mine. Well this is a personal opinion;but it is the most gain for the bucks(300) I ever got. Or: a Gmc671 blower may not help your family sedan. 24/96 just helps kick it up another notch if everything else is there. Never said a $400 dac w/ is better than a $2000 w/o.
