Like Ivor Tiefenbrun of Linn would say a 20k kitchen won't make your food taste any better. But a good stereo will make your music sound better.
It all depends on your system. You are absolutely right about speakers. They contribute a lot to the overall sound. But so does the source. You always need to decide what is the weakest link and improve that. In my system it's definitely not the speakers but the dac. My turntable tells me so. If in your case it's the speakers; get better speakers. It's always about balance. And scalability.
It is not expensive, but I agree that it's still a lot of money. Expensive is always relative to perceived value. It it were a car for €5400 you wouldn't say it's expensive, would you? Or a boat, or a house, or a jet... It's a luxury item that is more useful than a omega watch. Or a Birkin bag. When it comes to functionality. But if you already have a very good system, it's cheap. It's all so relative. This dac is about 1/10th of my speakers.I have no doubt that this Dac is great but it is way too expensive. I prefer to put this amount of money on better speakers. They have much more impact on sound than a Dac regardless how good it is
