There is little alternative for an audiophile. There are aspects of sound quality we don't have effective measurement methods for so we can't rely on by the book design guidance principles and technical evaluation alone. We also need to be able to weigh the results of particular tradeoffs for our purposes.
There is no choice but to speculate on what technical aspect results in a paricular aspect of SQ being one way or another. Hence the constant need to change items in the chain.
Finally, there are simplifying assumptions behind the engineering equations that enable quantitative design that some designers try to take into account when designing with particular components in mind. Pass is one in particular who pays attention to these things in his white papers and we presume he does so in his designs, particularly for the First Watt designs.
