OP    budget $20-30K You can buy whole system in below (with all cables). It is the cleanest, the most realistic and only natural audio sound in the world. Ask your spouse about below sounds. Alex/WTA WTA  
Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap
tvad I prefer to compare components in my system because it offers a familiar baseline. Agreed. It'll be the best option. But most cases ($10K dac?) it is hard to do. There are many videos of certain gears and listen to them to guess the sound... 
Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap
tvad @mihorn, I am impressed at your ability to discern differences between DACs playing in two different rooms (one a hotel room), on two different systems apparently without any similar components between them, from YouTube videos. In my exp...

WHY CABLES MATTER!
tonywinga So this video, which we are listening to on our phones/computer is supposed to show us how bad music reproduction is by comparing it to a natural voice speaking at the same time- through our computer/iphone speaker. Mr. Spock would say... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
kevn You see, getting into hifi audio is much like getting an education, albeit one in listening, and hearing. In a similar way photographers learn how to ‘see’ better, an audiophile learns how to hear, and listen better, for nuance, inflection,...

I see the issue with ABX blind testing

People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution?
OP People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? You mean the sound of the original music. We don’t want any more bass or mid than the original sound. It won’t be a nice sound. What we want is the recreation of the origin...
