The improvement of sound quality is a very bucket effect thing. Including: sound source (played music files), decoding (player), and playback front-end (headphones, speakers), which is roughly composed of these three parts.

There are good choices for Qianyuan machine players, whether it is Sony’s MP3 or the domestic hifi man, but their improvement in music, especially compared to smartphones, is of course Yes, but the question asks whether it is worth it. From my perspective: not worth it.

My current portable device is Sony's A17. It cost about 1,700 yuan when I bought it a few years ago. Compared with the playback effect of mobile phones at that time, there is indeed a very obvious difference. But after changing several mobile phones in the past few years, I found that the playback effects of music players and mobile phones are getting closer and closer. When everyone is playing files with the same bit rate, it is almost difficult to tell the difference if you use blind listening. If you use a Bluetooth headset as a playback device, the difference is even smaller.

From a personal point of view, this thousand yuan budget can be added to headphones and better music services - such as buying a spotify membership, which is more than enough. Currently, mobile phones don't have much of a problem as a digital music player terminal. The bigger problem is how to quickly find the songs you want and like in terms of music sources.

If you are an ordinary music lover and don’t have a lot of money, you can consider a thousand-yuan player from a well-known brand. After all, it has an independent decoder, power supply line, and a system specially optimized for music, such as mine. I am using it myself, and the sound quality is unmatched by current mobile phone sound quality.

You get what you pay for! Don't be afraid of not seeing the goods, just be afraid of comparing the goods. Follow your own economic conditions and choose the best cost-effective product.

It mainly depends on personal ability, whether you can afford the purchase, and think about your own income and your own conditions.

It depends on whether you are an ordinary user or an enthusiast!

To be honest, there is no need to enter! The sound quality of a player at this price is not much better than that of a mobile phone. It is only better than a mobile phone in terms of battery life! However, there is a player that costs more than a thousand yuan that I can recommend to you. Hifiman’s hm650 is quite good, you can check it out!

I don’t think it’s necessary to buy it. It’s better than a mobile phone.

If the sound quality is good and cost-effective, it is still necessary. This is the biggest reward for music lovers. Of course, this must be done if economic conditions permit.

I am using a thousand-yuan national brick. Here I will talk about my personal feelings and hope it can help you. It can only be a reference.

At first, I also used the Apple When I was playing music, I decided to buy a player.

Listening to it with the iPhone and the headphones that come with it, it is obvious that the bass is weak and the midrange is not full enough. I bought a player and added a pair of Sennheiser headphones (IE60). After playing it for more than a hundred hours, the bass sounds powerful and elastic, and the treble is transparent. It’s so much better than listening to it on a mobile phone. I don’t want to listen to Apple’s headphones anymore. Sorry, I haven't listened to one or two thousand headphones and can't give you a higher-level reference.

The audio source is music in DSD and WAV formats that I found on Baidu Netdisk. So if you want to buy a player, you have to buy a better plug, and you have to find a better sound source. Just listen to yourself and feel comfortable, but don't have a fever. Once the fever sinks in, even if it costs ten thousand or twenty thousand, the fever may not go away. Just feel comfortable listening to it!

What kind of headphones do you need to buy a player worth more than a thousand yuan? If earplugs cost a few hundred yuan, no need! If it costs a few hundred yuan, there is no need! If you have big ears with high impedance and can’t push them, there’s no need! If you buy earplugs worth a few thousand yuan, a player worth around a thousand yuan won’t satisfy you anymore, so there’s no need! If you have more than 2,000 to 3,000 earplugs, don’t want to invest too much in equipment, and want to pursue good sound quality, but your mobile phone does not support lossless format, you may consider it.
