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

FUN FACT:

The truly wealthy as a general rule don’t go around bragging about their wealth. They prefer discretion.

The same rule applies for the truly intelligent: it is far preferable that people underestimate your cognitive aptitude. 

Just sayin’. 
 

EPILOGUE: as with most things, the law of diminishing returns applies, especially in an era of unprecedented wealth inequality that creates a market for audio engineers to design up to. 

The only DAC needed is a BenchMark Media DAC3 HGC

It’s your money- spend as you choose. 
 

If it was me I ‘d be inclined to have a single DAC/streamer in order to save space and the cost of interconnects and power chords.

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.

Well, if you can afford a $ 50,000 DAC, then you can afford the cost of the interconnects and extra AC cords as well—just my two cents' worth.
