The DAC makes changing the host SQL Server easier because all of the objects required for the database live inside the DAC. With traditional SQL Server databases, we had objects outside the database - things like logins, linked servers, DTS packages, Agent jobs, and so forth. The DAC is a self-contained unit so it's much easier to move them around from server to server. JAC – good question.

For a while I have used DNS aliases for High profile databases so i can move them relatively quickly and without updating every application in the firm.
