Are you talking cheap or seriously cheap?
;-)
I consider my seriously cheap DACs to all be about sub $500. My cheap DACs are sub $2000. It's all relative but by audiophile standards I think sub $2000 might still be considered cheap.
Seriously cheap DACs are seriously challenged with budget constraints on compoent selection by the designer. In my not so scientific humble opinion you have be around $1000 (+/-) to get over the hump of cheap component constraints.
All that being said, I have yet to have a RCA jack go bad on any of my seriously cheap, cheap, or other DACs over the range of $100 up to $5000. I did have an XLR jack go bad on a pricey Jeff Roland integrated amp.
