>That doesn't make all the expensive gear you own irrelevant snake oil
Dacs literally do one single thing and it's very simple it takes a digital signal and converts it to analog, an expensive dac changes literally nothing and you are wasting your money if you spend thousands on that shit, same goes for cables, its a fucking copper wire. So yes, it is snake oil and a waste of money.

Spending money on the headphones themselves isn't snake oil, but arguably you're going to hit diminishing returns faster than you would on say speakers. But that doesn't mean a 2000 dollar headphone is snake oil.
