You don't have to buy Chinese to get good audio gear at an attractive price. I've become a big fan of Schiit gear and they have lots of options at great prices -- I use their preamps, DACs & power amps in main and sunroom systems as well as for my headphone setup; their stuff is made in California and Texas. My speakers are Ohms which come from Brooklyn, NY. My Raspberry Pi players are made in Wales, UK. My Spendor speakers in the sunroom were made in East Sussex, UK. I think the only significant Chinese item in any of my systems are the HiFiMan Sundara phones I use.
So, there are cost effective options if one wants to stay away from the Chinese products for whatever reason.
