no even mid range dacs costing several hundred dollars to a thousand or more benefit audibly from this hdmi audio not terribly ubiquitous
i used to come from that direction in thinking about sound, but found to my surprise that things like e.g. good, balanced cables, optical connections on a DAC, 24 bit audio etc made a noticeable impact. not trusting your ears is… counter to how to do music/mastering imho.

Psychological effects will surpass any actual differences above a certain price point, and the tech you're describing is far beyond that point. That's why trusting your ears is wrong, your mind will try to justify any purchase you made. It's like an addiction.

As long as you're in the analog domain, many changes do make sense, but for digital cables, as long as data isn't dropped so much that it cuts out, and as long as you avoid ground loops and the worst of DC noise, you can't cause any trouble whatsoever.
