@ghdprentice - I tend to lean towards this approach.
OP - You should have a sonic memory for the computer, so listen to the new streamer for a few days or weeks and see if you feel that something’s different. Then go back and verify. If you can’t form an opinion then you’re splitting a hair not worth splitting.
I have found that I have formed an opinion with something new and then when I switched back it was clear that my sonic memory was flawed. Other times I’ve found it a relief to switch back. Other times the difference was so immediately obvious that I never bothered to go back.
