$800-1000 is a good cost range to spend for getting very very nice sound from a dac
it is good spot to be on the ’value curve’ for those seeking to maximize performance for $ outlay imho
going up from there further sound improvement certainly exists but becomes rather subtle and nuanced, and would best be appreciated on fairly expensive systems playing its output
don’t forget to get a good streamer too, don’t just run the digital feed out of a computer
