yup, you got the answer - try in own audio chain to see if you “subjectively” like the change. Audio chains, power, rooms, and especially preferences are so unique that it’s best to try in your own audio chain.
How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
When I read reviews or watch them on YouTube the reviewers talk about the vast differences between various DACs. I haven't compared too many, but found the differences pretty subtle, at best.
Which got me into thinking: Is my hearing ability really that bad?
Do you notice the differences as easily as folks make out?
