Best practices when conducting a DAC comparison

Reaching out for general advice on how Agoners have compared DACs in their own systems.....

....and how you have determined the 'better' or the 'preferred' component, based on your comparison.

This will be my first in-depth comparison.

Feel free to mention whatever you believe will help and stuff I may need to look out for / be aware of.

Thank You.

there will only be tiny differences between dacs relative to most speakers, room tmts., etc.

galvanic isolation can be a biggie for a DAC -- besides an opto-isolation technique, a LPS, and/or star-quad DC power cables are good ideas

I am not clear on the consumer benefits of MQA.  It does seem DRM capable however...
