I notice the difference with an ABX test. Spent about $700 or so on my audio equipment, so I guess it is "budget" in the audiophile world.
What equipment do you have? My main setup is a Motu M4 with two Adam Audio T5V and multi point room correction done in REW. For headphones I'm mostly using DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm (there's different drivers depending on the impedance and these sound warmer). I also have a sizeable collection of IEMs with ratings up to a B on the crin list.
I can hear sounds up to about 16k. I'm allergic to bad audio. I cannot differentiate good lossy encodes from lossless audio.
