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

If you have to spend $50,000 on a DAC too get great sound ...You have a big problem. I mean if you cant be happy with a DAC from Mytek, Aurender, or DCS you have missed the boat entirely and your not looking for sound your looking for ..."hey look I have a $50,000 DAC" .

Give me two identical room...

In one non treated and without acoustical mechanical control i will put the 50,000 bucks dac...

In the other room i will create an acoustical control  for  the same  system but with 5,000 bucks dac well chosen ...

 Guess which one will sound extraordinary ? 

Investing in gear piece without understanding acoustics is useless ...

LOL, if it makes you happy, and you can still afford groceries, go for it!! 

More money than brains?

$50k for something is nothing in the scheme of things. I have a new car that far surpasses $50k and it’s worth every cent. I also have what I want in an audio system that cost a lot. 
A decent car these days will cost you a lot more than $50k. A new Boxster is over $100k, GT3, double that. A genesis gv70 or 80 is $75k and more.

As for room treatments, all the people I know that has 6 digit sound systems have a fully treated room which easily costs 5 digits. Nobody should spend 5 digits on an audio system without 1st treating their room
