$1,000? This is a hobby, I don't count the time. DAC was $60, p/s will be under $50 for it, the switching PS that came with was noise city. Upgraded opamp $15. Total $125. Sound card $30

Cable less than $50 for sure, I think I paid less than $20. Stick a fork in it unless you want a remote, that might cost a couple hundred, I went crazy here bought a NOS remote and paid near list for it, something like $300 I think, but that is hardly necessary. I also bought a 2T hard drive for $70? I could have used spares but I wanted everything audio on one drive.
Bottom line, for less than $130 you are in the door, if you want really high end sound and can DIY, you are at $200. If you want a street ready DAC, I hate to think what that would cost!
