When you can buy a state of the art transport for $3,000 but a state of the art DAC costs $15,000, something is wrong.
Are you paying for parts, voodoo, or doodoo?

The TL:DW is that any well made Dac should not be more than $200 and anything above that doesn't sound any better since they all use similar cheap chips to do the D/A conversion. Anything above $200 for a DAC is basically snake oil and theres no improvement in sonics.
Appreciate your insights.
