Are DAC's overpriced?

Mark Levinson is owned by Samsung now, isn't it?

Samsung bought Harman, for $8,000,000,000.

@mzkmxcv I have learned that in audio more money is not always an indicator of the best performance. However, I sold the Benchmark because it did not sound as good on the new speakers I want to buy as compared with the ML If you go by spec alone the Benchmark should compare well. It did not have the ability to project the sound away from the speakers like the ML did. So in this case the more expensive gear was better to my ears.

I known a bit about Harman due to owning Revel Salon1 for a number of years.

For the op... Reading and doing are two different things. Reading that DAC tech has moved faster than amplifier... Then deciding from READING it that therefore amps are the limiting factor?
HAH hah hahahahahahahahahaha.. etc.
