In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud (www.tomshardware.com)

There's a difference though, it's just that gold plated cables doesn't change anything.

I'd love testing a Sennheiser hd600 series, to see if I hear some difference, from my 598 headset. But they are so expensive so I'm all okay with my refurbished 40€ ones :-)

A DAC for the PC is a nice step up though IMO (there are crap ones too ofc). Not everything is audiofoolery.
