You question reflect the complete misunderstanding permeating all audio about the REAL experience in S. Q. which come ALWAYS at the end from the ACOUSTIC AND PSYCHO-ACOUSTIC control of the speakers/room and not from an amplifier or a dac or from a turntable etc...
Only those who sells products insist on this meaningless opposition....
Subjective and objective motivated and correlated designed experience and experiments are the basic of acoustic and psycho-acoustic...
The opposition between these 2 necessary and complementarey aspects are only invoked and used by narrow instrumentalistic obsessed minds, or by sellers... These 2 warring sides are the 2 faces of the same wrong...
Dont upgrade anything before embedding it rightfully, mechanically, electrically and especially acoustically...
