I think you commented the same to my past posting of his video as well and I replied the same: he uses a CMA400i for home use now.
With a iFi Defenfer because he got ground loop problem, now he's satisfied with that setup.
He's gone with that for over a year now, bought it around the time he had his L300 I think.
An old video for my reference for that statement
Also yes demoing yourself is the best way, but not everyone can do that.
Amazon's awesome return policy helps but it's not worldwide coverage, buying blind risk losing money in the short term. Brick & Mortar store is dwindling and those that do sells consumer headphone won't put $1k+ on display that often, bla bla many things doesn't line up. When such happens biased review is what us mortals can watch.
Yes it's biased, but that bias can be lessened by getting more source, doing independent research and comparing impressions, all the while knowing and do reverse bias on each reviewer.
Find a reviewer with similar taste on music, similar sound impressions, and adjust those bias from people that doesn't fit your ears.
When done properly it can work. Not perfect, but it's the only way for some.
