They are great, assuming you never want to go past 16bits. It become impossible to laser trim the DAC resistors accurately enough, and you end up with very servere destortions creaping in in the low levels under 16bit. Even at 16 bit the non-linearity is getting rather bad, which is why the D/S DACs were created (not that they don't have their own issues).
If you wanted to create a discrete R2R DAC, and hand select the resistors, then you could get there I guess.
