If your whole system costs $40,000....

Don't lose faith. There are a lot of members here who are very helpful and willing to share their knowledge. Few can be mean but don't let that deter you.

In my secondary system my CDP and DAC comprised 11% of my total amount paid for my system.

In my primary system my Digital player was 13% of the total amount of money spent on it.

I really didn't plan it that way though. That is just how my system ended up. I was paying more attention to how the music was sounding while keeping in mind what people have said here about component synergy and that even the weakest link in a system can make music sound crappy.

$40,000 to spend on an audio system. Whew. That must be real nice.

Hi Herman

I wasn't picking on you at all. If it came off like that and if I offended you I'm very sorry. I honestly didn't mean it. When I wrote my post above I was just thinking about how some members can be mean to others in the various threads I've read in the past. I really wasn't thinking about what was said in this thread. I had only glanced at some responses. I wasn't taking a swipe at you or anyone else who had posted previously on this thread. Again my apologies.
