absolutely. In my experience there's a VERY BIG difference even
between "high-end" $2000 systems and then really really good stuff
($10-20000 for a complete system). Many recordings will sound like
crap on both though, so depending on the kind of music you listen to
it might sound better on your $200 box. :-)
I know that for a lot of the music I like (electronic music of
different kinds) it doesn't make all that much of a difference.
My dad has assembled a pretty good system over the years and if I
listen to a good clasical recording there I usually don't bother to
listen to music on anything else for a while.
Try finding a small HiFi shop where they have the real stuff and a
good listening setup and sit there for some hours (or days if
they'll let you).

IIRC the batteries are different for the two.
