At one point, diminishing returns will cause people to stop buying more expensive equipment. Of course there are those out there who are willing to drop thousands in order to eke out that extra 5%, but for the general population, 'good enough' might mean iBuds. For Head-Fier's, 'good enough' might stop at a decent portable amp and some reference headphones.
If you want to go even higher, that's your choice, but nothing's really wrong with wanting a cheaper solution. Not everyone has money to throw around like toilet paper.
