Thanks for bringing this excellent video to my attention.
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
Apparently, the good folks at The Absolute Sound have you covered.

under $50k usd Wadax Studio Player hard to beat.... https://landing.wadax.eu/studio-player/ but truthfully there are plenty of ’good’ dacs under $50k, even well under $50k. but at around $50k up to much more the new Wadax sets the performance bar very high. and it is a stand alone dac plus transport plus streamer plus will feed your amps directly as it has a volume control.

Thanks for the post. I am familiar with his analysis of issues with digital soundings from other reviews and agree with his position. Of the many reviewers out therr, I trust his ears. Remember, there is the law of limiting returns and the benefit/cost ratio becomes smaller as price increases. He speaks of the Tidal as a large increase in benefit. I will have to hear that myself. My position is that there are many low priced d DACs that can get you close. Is close good enough is as personal decision.
