I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

Desktop DAC & Bookshelf Speakers - Always find changing volume on OS itself to not be perfect as it too low or high for my liking. I can simply tweak the volume knob of my Desktop DAC to get the volume just right. Also great way to listen to music

If I'm understanding you correctly and you just got the DAC purely to be a volume know then I disagree with you because keyboards with volume knows exist.

That's still changing the Volume from the OS which I find changing the volume to not be as smooth compare to using a Desktop DAC and using knob on my keyboard, volume controls feels like a stair-step where it either bit too high or low and it's difficult to get it just right. That's why I like Desktop DAC and use it even over the volume knob on my keyboard.
