Guys, sorry to hijack a bit. I have a newbie question here. As someone who is casual music listener, my eyes (or ear) has been opened when i borrow my friend's sony wh-1000xm4. To me it sound out of this world compare to my cheapo headphone.

Now, I'm just about to add this baby to cart when i stumble upon this thread. So my question is, is there a significant difference comparing to let say, a sony wh-1000xm4 hook up to my handphone (xperia xz1) and a dac/amp system hook up to a good pair of headphone + a good source?

Well i have iFi iDAC , DAC+AMP( not so powerful amp) and XM3

tried LDAC vs DAC+AMP + XM3.

DAC+AMP is heaven quality compare to LDAC

meanwhile, if u get dedicated power hungry headphone pair properly with amp and dac, ull get far beyond result

2 ppl here say its subtle, but for me is chuncky, meatier sound.
