When I did own the dCS equipment, the difference between each setting was easy to hear.
But when I look back in the last 20 year what "improvements" in digital were made (and it is still mediocre) I doubt that there will be final satisfaction. It started with 1-Bit Player and it would not amaze me, when it will end finally with 1-Bit Player again (do you remember the SACD Hype and now you can read that SACD sounds mainly dull and boring...welcome in the world of marketing)
