Makes me wonder how much the parts cost on a $1000 DAC. I know there is the expensive casework, labor and overhead and a necessary profit.
Also it does make you think that if better op amps are $8 why don't they use them in the first place? How much is the difference between the worlds highest regarded DAC chip is VS the ones in most DACs?
