Would there be any reason to buy different types of DACs? Such as R2R, sigma-delta, or FPGA when recording and/or mixing/mastering music?

There might be reasons but probably none of them good ones.

LOL, good answer Hex. How a particular circuit operates is of little interest to consumers, at least compared to performance specs. Sure, some technologies are lame, and I'd never own a Magnapan flat panel hi-fi speaker for example. But the reason I don't want that is because their performance specs suck.

LOL, good answer Hex. I thought you might think so, Ethan. I was channeling you!

I have to admit I was growing tired of the wrist watch analogy but now I appreciate it and I think that the point has finally been made. Cheers, Rock Someone will bring it up again.
Just watch.

External interfaces, as a general trend, have noise floors notably lower than internal convertors in phones and laptops simply due to the complexities of getting good signal isolation inside a small electronic device. For this reason alone I find even a cheap external interface far preferable - and measurably quieter - than an internal sound card.
