Best Dac/Transport Under 50,000

I'm looking for the best dac/transport under 50K.
I've been in the hobby for almost twenty years. I've replaced my system numerous times. However, three years ago, I got to a point that I'm really happy with my system. My speakers are Montana KAS, and the amplification is from Pass Labs. Until now, I've listen to vinyl only. I'm looking for the best musical and analog player out there. Recommendation I've got so far are the German companies Burmester and MBL which I listened to and must admit, sound very analog and a so much better then Mark Levinson Reference Dac/Transport.
Your thought will be greatly appreciated.

Yr44,

Thank you for your precious time as well as your search describing your listening (& visual) experience with the MBL 1611. I think you performed just grand.
It seems we share the same quest for an (even more) organic and tactile presentation of recorded music.
With Germany at the east-border, I'll surely give MBL a try in foreseeable time.

Is a $50,000 unit 500 times better than a $100 unit?

Edzard,

You live in Belgium/France/Netherlands?

Matchstikman,

For some people, yes. For some other, no. Good enough? :)

Yr44,

That would be the Netherlands.

Matchstikman,

To my wallet and my dear, it's never worth the money!
But for pleasure and enjoyment, IT IS!
