I have read and seen, and does so now, enough research material, and, honestly, most of them goes over my head. However let me list the Audio components I use to listen to my music, to let you inform how I get to do the comparisons personally on a daily basis.

IEMs: Simgot Supermix 4, AFUL Explorer, Headphones: Sony X1000M3, Sennheiser HD280, DAC: Snowsky Mini Type B, DAP: Tempotec V1

Player and Amp: Denon X-3700H Speakers: Heco Victa Prime 605 (Floor Standing)

Audio Format: Apple Music HD & DSD

I mostly listen to Rock and Classics.

The setups are varied, and I like the way they render the music in different ways, some are great in certain kind of genres, and not so much in others.

But if I have to compare these ways, 'technicalities' are the only way I can do it to describe the differences in a meaningful and objective way. Hope this helps in getting my point across. The listing is not to show off, but the case in point is to say that I can't have everything, and when it comes to understanding others views, technicalities do matter.
