Why do people buy expensive DACs? - Page 8

I still want to hear the dCS Pagannini stack, regardless of how poorly it 'scales' in bang-for-buck terms and the degree to which we shouldnt equate quality with price. Forget the reviews, forget the marketing - just put the thing behind a curtain, hooked up to some quality speakers, and leave us alone for an hour or two, would you ?

The thing about DACs is that if you do a quick A/B you'll think they're more similar than not. But once you spend time with the DCS at home, you won't be able to go back to the lesser DAC. I'm just using the DCS as an example, but once you get used to the refinement and musical flow DACs on that level can reproduce, you can't go back. I know, because I've tried.
