Apart from the question of individual listeners having their own perspective, even with one listener there may not be a "best" over the universe of possible systems. Preference is, at best, a partial ordering. One might have two systems A and B which end up tied. Both are maximal, in the sense that neither one ever loses a match, but neither always ends up as a winner.
Worse, preferences aren't even ordered in a logically consistent fashion. It is possible for A to beat B, B to beat C, and C to beat A, as in the game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors". When this happens to an audiophile the result may end up a financial disaster.
