To explain better, we will divide into 3 parts: — Source of the Music, Processing of the Music, Listening device — Headphones or Speakers.
Source of the Music — If you have music which has been digitally compressed which has lower quality, less than KPS then even you upscale it, it will not sound good as an uncompressed audio file. The source file or music has to be the most important thing.
Processing of Music — One of the best ways for an Audiophile to listen to an analogue type of music is Vinyl records and Reel to Reel Tapes which were closest to the master audio listening.
With the advent of technology, managing music has become easier due to digital audio sources. This, in turn, is moving most analogue sources to various digital compressed versions.
The higher the compression, the higher the loss of quality of music and audio frequency. But with the new age technology, companies like Sony and others have created devices and chipsets to play uncompressed audio and try to give it as original quality as the artist intended us to hear. The processing chipset in the device is very important as it decodes the file into analogue signals which gives you the full range of the musical instruments or the atmosphere of the song.
Listening device — Headphones or Speakers- Finally, it the headphones or the speakers which decode the digital signal into analogue audio signal and converts into the sound. So to enjoy the best of the music, you need to have the right kind of headphones to your liking. Listening Device is your personal choice and your choice may differ from others, so choose according to your listening habit and not just go by the brand name.
