If you were serious about sound you would...

If your audiophile quest is to get the best sound then buy the best equipment used to make the recordings originally. One of the few things nearly every audiophile agrees about is that you can't make the signal better than the original. So:

Solid State Logic 2 channels preamp 5k$
Meyer Sound Bluehorn powered speakers 2x 140K$
Pro Tools MTRX system 10k$
Mac Studio Computer 8k$
Total about 170k$ 
How is it possible to get better sound than the best recording studio gear?

@donavabdear 

do you care about the most accurate sound or do you care about your enjoyment of music accurate sound be damned?

I care about enjoyment of music.   Accuracy matters and I tend to find that the two are highly correlated.

Many newer smart tvs apply very sophisticated digital image processing  in order to get the most out of their devices and in a/b comparison I have observed the results can be more eye catching than the real thing.  
 

Apply some effective digital image processing and most any picture can be made to do certain things better than real life.  
 

Same true with modern digital audio.  Anything is possible.   Merely reproducing the source accurately leaves a lot of possibilities on the table.
