Are you listening to your system or your music?
I am listening to my system, and that's the problem! I have always suffered from this, if I am not happy with the system, then I do tend to listen to the system, and not the music. This is why I put so much effort into testing and evaluating kit, because once I am happy that all is good, I forget about the system and enjoy the tunes. It takes a lot of effort sometimes, but I can get to a point where in my mind I know the kit is more or less optimised and working as it should. I then forget about the kit, and music takes it's proper place again.
Maybe it is a curse? I have been interested both in music and in how things sound for as long as I can remember, literally since 5 years of age. But worry not, it is interesting and I am enjoying the journey. That said, I am currently at the point where I have had enough of messing about with kit for now, so I am hoping for a happy resolution soon.......
Sounds as if you've become preoccupied with the system ..... IMHO, it would be prudent for you to strip back the system to: Beta 14 > NAS > router/switch > Devialet AIR. Find a few new albums and simply listen music.
