Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?

So I was just listening to Bad Company (Live) "No Smoke Without a Fire" at near deafening levels (about 94db at my seat), the REL G1 was pumping away... it sounded like I was actually at the effing concert... and I am POSITIVE my neighbor was hearing what was going on as well... and I was wondering if I really should be thinking about upgrading to a better DAC or if those funds might be better invested on more weed? 

It seems like more and more lately, that when I am baked on a heavy Indica like Bubba Kush, Blackwater or AK-47, that I seem to "get" the music more and enjoy the listening session more.  Also, it seems that I become more open to different types of music as well.  Likely the same with musicians and song writers... they probably create some of their best work when they are high.

Just wondering I guess about dumping more money into system upgrades or just leave it as is and keep on smokin' ?

Agree w/ those who have common sense. No drug (street/legal) is a "good" drug, simply, there is no such thing. Keep fooling yourselves...

Well if you buy the DAC used and don’t overpay, you can always try and resell the loser. That's nice if you are really interested in hearing other DACs.

The weed, well it pretty much goes up in smoke and that's the end.. :^)

FWIW I’ve heard the EE DAC is pretty good but have not actually heard it.

I had an mhdt tube DAC. Tube rolling (coincidence) made a big difference in sound.

If you have a tube pre-amp and/or amp, I think little value in a tube DAC also. I sold mine and still use the SS version of the mhdt DAC and have been happy with that for several years now.
