What dac are you using ? I would hope at least $5k+ if you are willing to spend $2-3k on interconnects ,much much more important to say buy the latest Best Buy
@audioman58 i have 2 DACs occasionally rotated in the main system;
Chord QBD76 MSRP $6k,
Luxman DA-06 MSRP $5k.
Actual price paid was lower since I bought used. I actually paid more for the power cord that’s currently connected to the DAC, either one!
