$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?

I first put my money into my speakers and build from there. Second are my amps and then my source. $30k for a DAC IMO is a little overkill but like all audio it is a personal decision. Now if I could get a $30k DAC for under $10K used that's a different story. Good luck.

Just to follow up. I looked up your speakers, nice. If it was me I spent the money on a upgrading to a pair of speakers where I don't need any subs, upgrade my CD player, a good DAC and add some vinyl - turntable / preamp for that $30k.

I thinking if you are going to invest just $30k just into a DAC why not put it into upgrading your entire system. Sell your current gear plus the $30k and you would have a KILLER system. IMHO.
