Recently, I've heard some people say that, for the most part, mid-range home/desktop amps offer superior SQ over high-end portable amps. Obviously, it's not fair to compare a $1000 amp (ex. B22) to an iBasso D3, but comparing the Meier Corda Headfive (~$200), for example, to portable amps in the $200-$400 range, would you see better performance from the H5? Or more generally, with portable vs. desktop, are you sacrificing sound quality for portability?
