Hypothetical question:
If all I'm using my headphones for is listening to music from my computer (through a decent amp/dac), and all music is 256 or 320 kbps aac files (no lossless, flac etc...) . . . will I notice an improvement by upgrading $150 headphones to a $2,000 pair of headphones? . . lets say from an ATH-M50 to an Audeze LCD-3?
I know that the music may sound different from headphone to headphone (bass heavy cans etc...), but wondering if there would be an overall improvement if only listening to compressed music files (256/320 kbps).
