“Black background” — What really contributes to this phenomenon?


How to enjoy the tiniest of musical details and lowest noise floor against the blackest of backgrounds?  
Power? Sources? DAC? Amps? Cables? Tweaks?  Vibration control? Any of these in particular?

After getting a black background you just found out that your new noise floor is your tinnitus

This is the hard truth. After playing drums in bands, endless touring, and playing in clubs for 30 years where your headphones have to cut through the already blaring soundsystem, I'm sad to report that my backgrounds hover at a dark grey, rather than black. Sigh.
