Now i almost pity those buying many "high end" gear... I own a "high end" dac which cost nothing and a flagship headphone bought for peanuts... I am lucky but i study a lot before buying them ...

Every time l make a monetary investment l normally see in the small print… Disclaimer….. Your investment can go up or down. l would expect in this case a new item $50K DAC “investment” can only go down. One good financial reason why not to buy at full retail. Now a $25K one second hand may be a sound financial reason why to, and a different story.
