Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?

I could not pay over $2500 for any DAC. I begin to question my own sanity and how ridiculous the cost of my audio system is at that budget. In many ways (not knocking others here) I find the significance of my stereo is not that great compared to other things in my life.  $50k range would go to an automobile, roof on my house, siding on my house, college funds etc. Not a single DAC.

I am not sure how one ties “envy” to the conversation of buying a $50k DAC? In my comment I stated (not knocking others here) with regard to my desire to spend a ceiling amount on audio equipment. There could be 1,000 reasons why someone would not spend $50k on a DAC and envy would be just one. Where does the assumption come in that “envy” would be the reason? It says something about anyone who would automatically assume this. Audio equipment is fun, it’s emotional, it’s important…. but it is also just boxes of wires. For anyone spending huge sums of money on something they like, great! I am all for it providing it does no harm to me or others and an uber expensive DAC is great, just not for me. Envy has zero to do with it.
