In my experience, the source dictates a big portion of audio system's sound. In those 2 video comparison, one is playing $16k DAC and the other is using 15 years old modded Oppo BDP-95 ($1k retail 15 yrs ago ). The sound should be predictable regardless of the room. Also, it is the house sound. An audio company system with their flagship gears is their house sound. Below is my old audio show videos in hotel rooms. Though my sound is more natural and realistic now. Alex/WTA 2021 audio show video by Audiophile Junkie (YT id)

Interesting viewpoint. I prefer to compare components in my system because it offers a familiar baseline. I can’t make heads or tails of systems’ sound from YouTube videos, and I definitely can’t tell what a particular component sounds like. I don’t have that skill. I tend to think a system’s sound is holistic, although I ascribe the largest influence to speaker/amplifier pairing.

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. I've been doing that for a long time and my guess is correct almost always. Better than nothing for sure. Alex/WTA |
