In your opinion, what's the single most important thing one can do to improve a home theater experience? (Audio)
Is it... purchasing high(er) end speakers... subs (maybe X2)... a better AVR... or placement?
Asking in regards to a decent, entry level system.

All are important, but start with placement since it's free. Best advice IMO is to slowly build everything out. 2.0 first, then 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 5.2 etc.
Sound is subjective, get what you're happy with and enjoy it. DIY sound group offers great price/performance if you're willing to go the diy route for speakers/subs. Used receiver or separates and shoot, used equipment in general is typically what I go with.
AVS forum will give the best advice on this topic.
Someone mentioned needing $20k to build a good HT.. definitely not the case if you're willing to buy used and/or throw in some diy
The best is an old Denon receiver from 2003 and 1970s Design Acoustic D6 speakers which are 6 way with 12in woofers. Music sounds incredible and TV is really good in stereo, but I will throw it into surround for movies.
Room acoustics are important including speaker placement to the wall and listening position. I'd list source as next most important. If you are streaming, hi-res sources sound better than something like Sirius XM. A DAC either dedicated or part of an amplifier can improve certain sources. The amplifier itself needs to have enough power to drive the speakers at your preferred listening level. Modern class D amps can certainly do that in a budget setting, just understand that like all amps their RMS power levels are probably half of their rating on paper. Speaker sensitivity is important as well as the higher the sensitivity the less power the amp requires.
Good luck with your decision, I get a ton of joy from listening to music and a nice setup really does improve the experience even if it's a budget one.

So you'll need a good receiver to power of the speakers, then a good dac. I recommend starting with a schiit dac.

Well this will make just about everything sound better, you can go even further if you obtain high quality Flac files... But specifically, high quality Flac recordings that have high dynamic range.
Stuff that's really highly compressed just sounds like shit. But as soon as you get something with great Dynamic range, great recording quality, and you play it through a great setup it sounds phenomenal.
