Is DAC still relevant in 2020? or am I wasting my money?

@svmihar Depends on what equipment you are using.

If using some computer, phone or table, laptop, etc -- their built in DAC is low end, low cost and not up to par with better audio equipment.

An external DAC can serve replacing that. Doesn't have to cost a fortune either.

I have a FiiO headphone amp that also includes a USB DAC interface. Connect it and it's seen as an external sound card. High quality DAC on board.

All for a very affordable price. Audiophile gear? that makes sense for the sellers.

Take a look. fiio.com/amp
