We have $100 dacs with state of the art performance, why isn't there a multichannel version available? It's not a question of price anymore, with units at $5k not breaking 100dB SINAD. If the tech is there for low-buck two channel, why aren't companies like Topping doing multichannel? Seems like someone, somewhere should be able to do a 5.1 or 7.1 system at 110dB SINAD for a little less than $1000.
I'm in the market for a HT setup and I'm willing to pay upwards of $1500 for the receiver, but I don't see any value in paying $1500 when $250 gets me similar sound quality and features (SINAD around 85, HDMI switching, 4K, room correction, and a remote). I can't be alone in this.
Is there really nothing on the market that differentiates on performance instead of add-on features or looks?
