Die casting and machining both produce high quality parts, but depending on your project's specifications, it may make sense to use one process more than the other.
With die casting, the initial cost can be higher as a custom mold must be created. However, if you are planning on running 10,000 or more parts, the initial cost pays for itself, as parts can be precisely and efficiently produced. CNC machining may be a good fit for your project if you need to run less than 10,000 pieces. Machining can also be a good fit if you require tens of thousands, or even millions, of pieces, and need each part to be precisely accurate with extremely little variation.
