Tax Returns: Nothing, a new DAC or... ?

Hello Audiogoners,

Tax season is upon us and perhaps for the second time ever I have filed my taxes on time.  My choices are:

  • Clear out my credit cards
  • A new DAC

I currently have a Mytek Brooklyn (orignal version) and am thiniking of a DAC which is a Roon endpoint, with a $5,000 budget.  I've never heard the Manhattan, or the Bricasti M5 but they are in my price point and feature set.

I really really like the Mytek Brooklyn .... but do you think in this price range I could find something that would make me pull out my card?

Or do I save my money and prepare for the end of days??

Spend it before it's worth less.

All the haters should buy crypto so the rest can have a good laugh.

@rsf507  You are right, I meant the M3 with the streaming add on card.

Do what you want to do.

Buy now before inflation makes even a pack of gum a a major purchase.

You have a decent DAC already.  The Manhattan and Bricasti are not worth the investment from what you have.    Pay off the credit cards then save for an even better DAC. You can get a Lumin X-1 used for around 8k.  Or even consider one of the Lampizator DAC's.
