$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?

@folkfreak   Thank you for the additional clarification. And the recommendation to reach out to Mike regarding the Taiko Extreme.

Ask the LampizatOr dealer who posted earlier to send you a Pacific to try in your system and let you decide if its worth the $30K price tag. Spending that sort of cash on anything sight unseen/unheard is not a smart move. 

Save on the DAC and exchange the Anti-mode for a Trinnov.

Bottom line, it is your money.  Would I spend $30K on a DAC?  Not only no...but "hell f**king no".  In my opinion the price exceeds the return on what our normal human hearing can process.  I'd rather spend far less on a DAC if I needed it, and if I still wanted to throw money around I would give it to a local food bank or adopt a few families and give them one of the best Christmas Times they have ever had.  Just my opinion.  But again, I am all for Capitalism and wealth accumulation.  It's your money, do with it what you wish and Carpe Diem!

In my opinion the price exceeds the return on what our normal human hearing can process.

Please explain. Thanks.
