Sexy cans those! Always fancied a pair of Grados but it’d be the 80s as I couldn’t justify (or afford) those gorgeous 325s.I have a copy of my music collection on a 128GB microSD in my cheapo tablet. I think most people would notice a remarkable improvement if they bypassed the DAC in their phone/tablet/PC.
At the moment the tablet is streaming FLAC tracks to my HiFi using the Yamaha MusicCast app but for my Grado 325E headphones I plug in a USB DAC which also bypasses the Android hardware - Cyrus SoundKey (Dragonfly Black is a current equivalent). I'd highly recommend paying a few quid for the USB Audio Pro app.
I did ABX tests and concluded HiRes audio was wasted on me. CD quality is fine. Yamaha receiver has Qobuz and Tidal etc built in but after trialling I wasn't convinced they were worth it. I'd pay a fiver/month for Qobuz. Bandcamp has some gems, I've paid for a few things from there.
