Narrative:
During cruise flight at FL450 about one hour prior to decent we experienced a dadc (digital air data computer) fault. A dadc miscompare cas message was displayed and the appropriate afm quick reference handbook procedure was accomplished. We continued the flight with both captain and first officer operating with a single dadc. As we commenced our decent into ZZZZ; the air data information displayed by the remaining dadc did not agree with the standby flight instruments; all automation was disengaged and the remainder of the flight was conducted by reference to the standby flight instruments. We [advised ATC] and continued to land on runway xx.
