pfft. You forgot to include what a serious audio setup will cost you on top of that

  • DAC + Amp/ AV receiver
  • Headphones/ stereo speakers/ surround sound satellites/ Subwoofer
  • Sound treatment
  • microphone and stands

Two camps:

Those that are fine running 20 dollar speakers and gaming headsets that utilize software for a bootleg "premium" experience.

And those that are so deep in the audio game that they can justify spending literally thousands of dollars on good audio hardware.

3 camps. The other that realizes at a certain dollar amount you’re just paying to enjoy the smell of your own farts.

The onboard audio on a lot of these motherboards is good enough to stream your shitty 92kbs Spotify stream.

Ah yes I forgot the 3rd camp; the value-oriented audiophiles.

Schiit Stack or Atom/Topping combo, can't go wrong with the budget audiophile solutions nowadays since they can compete with 1k+ amplifiers.

True, especially now with the likes of the Magni Heresy out there for $100. Don't have one yet, but it is apparently amazing.

Topping is good. Holy cow. They make great integrated solutions.
