This question has been on my mind for some time; it's a broad question but I hope we can find some easier and helpful answers for people in the search for their endgame.
Is there a best value-for-money/bang-for-buck/Goldilocks-zone price range for:
1) digital audio players
2) digital to audio converters
3) solid state amps
4) tube amps
5) closed-back headphones/IEMs
5) open-back headphones
where there's a big increase in (sound) quality, which beyond those price ranges, only small incremental improvements/diminishing returns occur? If yes, what are the two/three best items within that price range of each respective item?
Thanks!
