I've auditioned enough turntables, CD players, amplifiers, DACs, operating systems, and music software to my satisfaction. At age 63, I doubt I have "golden" ears. I'll take a lot of heat, but here is my optimum system. Everything is free except the PC and headphones. Also, I use no external DAC. I believe any cable affects (degrades) the sound.
PC: HP Pavilion Entertainment
Music player: Bug head Emperor HQ
Additional software: SRS Labs IDT Audio Control Panel, Fidelizer
Music files: WAV 16/44.1 upsampled on the fly to 176.4
Headphones: Sennhieser HD600

Depends almost purely on the effort you're willing to put in - and much less on money. - carcass93 13:10:58 11/20/14 ( 3)

Yes, but only if you build it from scratch and tweak it for two years or more..... - AbeCollins 11:26:32 11/20/14 ( 4)
