Don't let them hear you say that. I've been beaten to death for telling them they can't tell the difference between 320kbps mp3s and lossless.
With hardware, there's definitely an improvement in quality but only to a certain point, you have to spend like $200-300 and you are already at the perceivable ceiling. Audio equipment is just so damn good and affordable these days. Audiophiles tend to buy things that have different sounds, maybe they prefer how one album sounds with one set of headphones vs another and they pay a pretty penny for this. But the quality is the same.
