One reason to not own a $50K DAC, it cost $50K and I could do some really good things with $50K Like bet it all on Black at the Winstar Casino. Just kidding I would bet Red.

But if I had a system that cost in the 6-figures (and some people do, even if it's not me), a $50K DAC would not be at all out of line if I liked the sound and the build.
