LOL.No. It retails for $53k and was still crazy expensive, even with my great price. And it wasn't local; so I would have been paying a fortune for a DAC I have never heard. I have also read it bests all else out there no matter what the cost, but...

I'm putting a LOT of faith in you Steve. I turned down a killer deal on the hugely buzzed Trinity DAC with the hope that your reference DAC will toll in a new era of dac performance; leaving the Berkeley Reference, MSB, DCS and Trinity dac's woefu...
