    Well… it won’t matter once you listen to music on them with your shitty 20 USD headphones.

      Yea, I have found by far the biggest effect for me (and I have to imagine most people) is the speakers / headphones, not the digital processing or even the audio converters.

      It also won’t matter once you take a step outside; slightest ambient noise is enough to kill most of the advantages a high-end source provides.

        That depends: proper Shure IEMs usually do a good job covering ambient noise. Somewhere north of 200 USD you usually get proper in ear monitors… but only if it’s from one of the regular professional equipment brands, otherwise you’ll probably pay for design or the name and little else.
