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.)

Based on the comments about members not being able to hear the difference between a $1500 or a $50,000 DAC I would suggest you get a new hobby.

I made the assumption that the rest of the system would be highly resolving, but it's certainly possible with a system of less resolving components even an audiophile with developed hearing could miss the value of adding a 50K DAC. Great point!
