    The system that was front-and-center prominently showcased the company’s Ultra 9 speakers ($200,000) driven by the stunning vertically-oriented VAC Statement 450i iQ tube integrated amplifier ($150,000). Cables and power cords were all from Masterbuilt Audio. Esoteric covered the digital frontend with its Grandioso P1 CD transport ($38,000), two Grandioso D1 monoblock DACs ($19,000 each), and the G-01 clock ($20,000). Vinyl playback was handled by the TechDAS Air Force III turntable ($29,500) running through the 450i iQ’s built-in phono preamp.

    May have been under $1mil, but not by much when you add all power, cables, additional comps etc

    I didn't see where you factored into unrelenting greed and c suite overhead to the extra 700k
