Ain't no way it's worth it, audiophile gear is 99% placebo. It's kinda like wine, when you're past a certain price point (that's not actually that large compared to the really expensive stuff) it's all the same.

Good luck plugging Sennheiser HD 600 to an average mp3 player or your smartphone. I don't defend audiophile, because they cost extremely more for what they offer. But they are a step up.

Also you can find DAP starting from $100, so i don't know how these scale with the price. I just recently found them out and shared the info.

Headphone amps: exist

Yes, but he is talking about stock devices. A phone with a good DAC/AMP portable dongle ($200-400) will be on par with these $1300 DAPs.
