LOL, if it makes you happy, and you can still afford groceries, go for it!! 

$50k for something is nothing in the scheme of things. I have a new car that far surpasses $50k and it’s worth every cent. I also have what I want in an audio system that cost a lot. 
A decent car these days will cost you a lot more than $50k. A new Boxster is over $100k, GT3, double that. A genesis gv70 or 80 is $75k and more.

As for room treatments, all the people I know that has 6 digit sound systems have a fully treated room which easily costs 5 digits. Nobody should spend 5 digits on an audio system without 1st treating their room 

What is the % of Americans who can afford this  "nevermind the money" i will buy the best system in the world , a 50,000 bucks dac included , and a 6 figure room treatment ?

What is the % of people in the world reading this as  the "solution" to audio,( 6 figure sound system+6 figure room treatment)  will appreciate this as a Solution or instead will judge this  complete unconsciousness about concrete situation of most people in the world about audio ?

It is incredible how privileged people spoke :

$50k for something is nothing in the scheme of things. I have a new car that far surpasses $50k and it’s worth every cent. I also have what I want in an audio system that cost a lot. 

Congratulation" for your system and especially your car ,  it was very informative ...

My system is 1000 bucks and my room acoustical control is homemade ...

I can teach you how to do one at no cost...

Not so good as yours but for the price you will be surprised ...

 

If the DAC natively handles DSD in at least 5 channels simultaneously, maybe.  Otherwise if you are stuck at 2 channels or PCM, forget it ... there are far better ways to splash your digital cash
