I very much doubt that you will get anything more than minimal to negligible. In essence, a likely sideways move at best.
In my experience, the lower limit “cut-off” pricing threshold of where the contenders start to materially separate themselves from the bevy of pretenders, is going progressively north of $3K ( Pre-COVID pricing strata).And that does not include the added matched cost of a separate stand-alone stablemate DAC.
That is where the upgraded build quality and resulting audio performance-step-up follows the price-point upward $$ curve.
A simple example is the improved design and better build with the implementation of robust linear power supplies.( either external or fully isolated built-in)
