Should I pay a lot for a DAC?

How important is the DAC in a system? Is there going to be much difference between a $250 Adcom GDA-600 and a $700 Benchmark DAC1 (both used)?

Of course one could spend thousands but $450 is a big difference to me. What's your experience?

Thanks very much for the comments. I'll save and go for the better DAC. So far I've got a pair of Martin Logan reQuests and a Krell KSA-150. Looking to get a tube amp for the highs and it looks like a Benchmark DAC or one mentioned in this thread.
