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

Apparently, the good folks at The Absolute Sound have you covered.

(Audiophiles are never going to shed their out of touch reputation with journalism like this. I'm sorry, but it's just so tone deaf.)

I don't now what a 50K DAC would do vs. a 5K but that's my ignorance. Also, I am not on any blog or forum that has members with 300K Ferraris. Maybe there are a few here.
