Mytek Brooklyn overkill?

What’s the rest of your system?

If you room is treated and have $50,000 speakers, then a $2200 DAC may not be overkill (though I would recommend the Benchmark DAC3 or Chord Qutest).

Some people may argue, but the audible differences between a $200 DAC and a $2000 DAC in minimal.

The phono preamp part sounds unnecessary.  Being able to use it as apreamp is kind of nice; when I used my Manhatten as a preamp for a month when my preamp had to go the shop

I like the Brooklyn, but I also like the NAD 3020D, which is a DAC, amp and Bluetooth receiver.
