the way i've done it is stem some tracks out to a folcrom and add analog gear to taste. mult the output of the the last thing on the chain and treat mult 1 as 'original analog source'. mult 2 goes back into the DAW and recorded with whatever you're testing. play back is instantly A/B-able with 'original analog source', and everything is calibrated to .1dB.

the one that gets closer to the 'original analog source' in sound and stereo image wins, unless you like the sound of a particular piece, even if it's not accurate. but the constant is always the 'original analog source' and it's always instantly available.
