100+ Head-Fier
I own a pair of ATH-M50X. I use them almost exclusively while listening to flac files (ripped from CD's or purchased on iTunes) on my Windows PC.
My audio device is a Behringer UMC202HD. I have Windows set up to drive it at 44.1KHz 16 bits.
My hearing runs up to about 15KHz.
I also have a Moto G7 Optimo Maxx phone which has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Occasionally I will plug the ATH-M50X into it.
I have recently switched from .ogg to .flac on the phone.
I'm really curious to know whether I would be able to hear the difference between the ATH and a pair of really expensive (wired) cans - say $1,000+.
And if so, what would the source of the music need to be? I have my doubts that 16 bits @ 44.1KHz will cut it.
My music of choice is classic Rock and Classical (Beethoven, Mozart, etc).
Thanks for your advice / suggestions
