For some it's about the journey

Aside from enjoying the music....

I have been trying different gear (mostly used gear*) in my home for decades and not because I'm looking for that "perfect system". For me it's been about experiencing different equipment and different sounds. I've probably had a dozen of every piece of audio electronics in my system including CDPs, DACs, Amps, Preamps, Integrated Amps, Tuners, Phono Preamps, Music Servers, etc. I've had pricey cables and cheap pro cables. I have been burned more than once by so-called Class-A recommended components in the audio rags.

Bottom line: Sound quality is not proportional to higher price as the Recommended Components lists will have you believe.
