8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC

@onhwy61 It was an investment in pleasure (not returns) 

lol @larryi

@mahgister I completely agree with you. I am writing my next to next post about that experience. My friend has a professional recording studio, a room on which more $100000 was spent, his pro audio ADC/DAC costs 700$, but never in my life even if I spend a million on audio gear would I equal the sound he gets in his studio.

Looking back, my DAC purchase made very little sense, it's retail price (I did not pay retail) was more than the rest of my system, which was at the time all Nagra gear (purchased used).

If 50K$ was nothing for me, I wouldn't have written this post making fun of myself and my silly audiophile decisions. But I agree the way high end prices are rocketing they make you feel like $50K is nothing.

@hk_fan Yes I did enjoy the bling factor. It does give me the warm fuzzy glow of good jewelry, and I enjoyed it for 4+ years.

But in the end I ended up selling it. Not just cause it was not VFM, that it wasn't. But because of reasons I am currently writing about, two big but very easy epiphanies. First was my analog epiphany I wrote about here: https://audiofool.substack.com/p/why-i-sold-my-50000-dac-part-one?r=bu4av

Second was when I visited a world-class recording studio and saw what gear they used......to be written soon.
