I agree. Even $75 DAC from FiiO or iBasso is good enough and you don't need anything more.

I was answering the, "What does it offer?" In general, higher quality DACs offer extremely low distortion even at low digital volume levels while cheaper DACs measure very well at 0dBFS, but degrade at -30 or -40 dBFS.
