Serious question (I know it's still only January, but off I go): What is the
difference in cost between the DAC they put in a sub-$100 player and an
expensive one? It was my impression -- superficial, I admit -- that DACs are
now produced in such numbers that the cost difference should be quite small.


It is, actually.

It's the surrounding (analogue, clock) electronics and power supply +
PCB routing where a difference can be made.

A difference, not necessarily an improvement, but you knew that.
