    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.

      headphones or speakers can’t add the detail that mp3 (or streaming in whatever format) eliminates. Compare a CD and mp3 of the same track with a decent headphone (or a speaker) and you will hear that compression changes sounds.

      but it all depends on what kind of music you listen to. For some of today’s music even laptop speakers are enough 🤷

        Nah come on, bro. You and I both know laptop speakers are trash. Good headphones are a must. I’ve heard so many sounds I’ve never noticed before with good headphones.

          yes 😁 yes, but this new vocoder popshit i’ve been hearing from bluetooth boxes in backpacks is good enough for laptop speakers
