Please indicate with a number on a scale from 1 to 4.
1 - Extremely unimportant. You prefer a certain type of sound that suits you and the chosen hardware needs to make music sound a certain way (warmer, colder, faster, slower etc).
2 - Mostly unimportant. You just want your favorite music to sound good, including poorer recordings.
3 - Mostly important. You like to get something that doesn't color the sound too much but doesn't sound too unpleasant with bad recordings.
4 - Extremely important. You want all music reproduced as accurately as possible, including good/bad mastering and production.
If your opinion is not represented on the list, try to chose the one that comes closest to yours.
