I think it depends on the implementation of the dac and amp. I would say getting better headphones or messing with a good eq implementation makes more of a difference. It's the reason why I love my Cowon music players despite the initial dumb cost of almost costing the same as a brand new flagship phone. I do not regret it, though, as it allows me for quite the eq customization for different iems and headphones on the go. Definitely enjoy listening to music more on my music players more than the apple dongle, ifi go blu bluetooth device, and some other usb-c dac dongles I have.
