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


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

Wow! Impressive presentation & command of speaking w/ lithe or no “ timing errors”…. Seriously, obviously a very intelligent man & very well spoken! 
 

I do wonder how the differences & details he outlined might be different using  a high sensitivity speaker w/ tube electronics which often have quite different harmonic distortion qualities & often more sir & space around & between instruments & voices? 
 

Lastly, if he can hear all of that w/ the equipment on Salamander racks w/ plastic casters, why does anyone need a really high end rack w/ fancy spikes or isolation devices?
