I think to simply put a 10k number on “just a table” is kind of silly. The better question is, would you spend 10k on an analog setup, full table etc, maybe even include the phono stage?
To answer the above, yes I would. My analog setup is my go to. However, it is impossible to argue the virtues of streaming. Convenient, a wealth of available music, set it and go etc. To argue if a 1k streamer is the same as a 25k streamer is irrelevant. To each their own. If the thing sounds good to the individual, then it does. Doesn’t matter how much the cost.
