Thank you for this very well done shootout.
Nice levels, alignement and mix!!
I will try to guess...
I listened only to +3db files.
Software:
I prefer A , then E (just a little less than A), then D and C (that has too much distortion for me)
Hardware: I find the stereo image different than others
I prefer B with a little more details in the center, then F

...
For me, all would be ok, maybe except C.
