I got a DAC/headphone amp, and replaced all the 192KBs files in my library with 320KBs. Nothing sounds tinny, and I've been happy. I've never looked into it further, and feel no need to.
Music has been one of the most important aspects of my life as long as if can remember. Every memory and thought I have has a song attached to it. I wired built in speakers throughout my house so I can always play whatever I feel like.
I can't imagine giving a shit about wire composition or watching a waveform for unperceived errors. That sounds more like a mental illness than a hobby.
I Also mostly listen to music in my ten year old car, which has a dogshit soundsystem, so I guess I'm not an audiophile.
I read about a test where supposedly audiophiles were played samples of CDs ripped with different players and then proven to be identical bit by bit, played back on the same system, where supposedly they still insisted they could tell which CDs were ripped with the better player, and tbqh I believe it.
Sounds like we have very similar sensibilities, including the limits of what we care about. I also mostly listen in an old car, and I took the plunge and upgraded the speakers with some better coaxial speakers than the stock ones. It was an absolutely great return on investment if you don't mind a beginner-friendly car project. Easy job to complete in a couple of hours and the customer service techs at Crutchfield are very forthcoming with knowledge and assistance.
