It also depends why the DAX exists on the line.  It is used to extend
the reach of a line because digital nature of the device allow error
detection/correction to be used which can't be done on analogue, plus
there may only be a limited amount of cabling to a location so a DAX
can double the customers and not the cabling costs.  I'm suprised that
there not more common than they are.
