I couldn't agree more...$50 or $30K for anything other than maybe a speaker is utterly foolish if you ask me. If had tons of money to burn I still would not spend this much on a DAC. Primarily because you don't need to;there are so many good DACS out there for less money. Case closed.
Audio Note DAC 5
Just curious, are there (many) audiophiles who want to have the Audio Note DAC 5 and are willing to pay the high price for the device? New price: $50,000, used price $30,000. Another question: is it worth the price? Does the sound quality justify the price? Does it better the top Wadia or the Esoteric, which retail for less?
