I seriously doubt it.
The consumers you're talking about buy into high-end buds and hi-res
streaming because they believe it's what they should do, but they
wouldn't recognise good sound quality if it smacked them in the mouth.
Indeed, they are now so used to hypercompressed trash that it's what
they think good sound quality is.
Even today's crop of young mastering engineers seem to have drunk the
kool-aid. "Everything louder than everything else" is the new dogma.



Until recently: Transporter -> ATC SCM100A, now sold :-(
House move forced change to: piCorePlayer(RPi2/HiFiBerry DIGI2 Pro) ->
Meridian 218 -> Meridian M6
