If you must spend $10,000 get speakers that knock you out. Speakers contribute more to the sound of your system than any other component or combination of components. The right power amp with the speaker is also very important

$10k DAC in a 3k system?
Hello all,
Ive owned the same audio rig for 8 years or so (Rega Mira 3 amp> Rega RS5 speakers)
My source into the Mira3 amp is a headless fanless micro windows7pc I built running jrivermc> musichall Dax 25.3
i am reading some phenomenal things about some of these Dacs in the 10K range ( Chord Dave, Ayre, Lampizator,PS Audio, etc).
My question is a simple one: the other pieces of my system sound great to me, but are at a much lower price point collectively than one of the dacs mentioned above. Do I need to be concerned about my Amp/speakers being fast/dynamic enough to facilitate a Dac like the Dave? Or could I plug a top notch Dac like that into my system and hear the same things I've heard described in the reviews (but on a relative level) ?
thanks in advance for any insight!
