I was on the audiophile merry go round of never being satisfied with my system, compulsively tweaking and changing equipment, searching for perfection  for quite a number of years. But despite all the conflict I have come out of the ordeal with a system that, I  can honestly say, portrays the music accurately.  So in many ways,  it wasn’t a waste of time and money.
 The trick is,  once you have found a system that satisfies you, stop agonizing over the sound. You’ve reached Nirvana, where all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your music in glorious sound. If there are sound defects, SO WHAT!  The fault is NOT in your system. You’ve reached your system’s benchmark sound and anything that strays from that is the fault of the medium. Even ENJOY the faulty track for the great music that lies within.  I’m sure you’ll even find some  niceties of sound that exist.   
I'm not saying that I’ll never buy another “upgrade.”  But, as of now, I don’t see the need.
For those who listen only for SQ, enjoy the quest.

In the last fifty plus years I have changed everything in my system more times than I can count.  And as of right now, I’m close to my happy place. Improving my DAC is coming, but I am not in a huge rush to do so. I’m currently able to listen to music at comfortable levels for hours without any fatigue and for me, that’s what it’s all about.
 

Now if I hit Powerball, all bets are off.😁
