$500. :(
Damn you people must have money to spend.

tendollarWell, the reason "audiophile" gear gets sold at a premium is because not many people care enough about sound quality to pay more. Smaller market, less guarantee of getting a return on your R&D investment, higher prices overall. Plus some snake oil vendors take advantage of this environment to charge stupid prices for average gear (almost the entire Beats lineup, Monster cables, etc).
But I'd say it's all about priorities, just because you wouldn't pay $500 on headphones doesn't mean you don't already pay that much or more on another hobby.

tendollarThis hobby definitely isn't for you then, this hobby generally involves spending exponential amount of money to get incremental increases. Life of an audiophile I guess.

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
