I really hate this kind of headlines

It's rampant click bait. I try not to reward the behavior with clicks, but sometimes I'm genuinely interested in the topic. This is not one of those times.

The land of diminishing returns...

Well… it won't matter once you listen to music on them with your shitty 20 USD headphones.

Yea, I have found by far the biggest effect for me (and I have to imagine most people) is the speakers / headphones, not the digital processing or even the audio converters.

headphones or speakers can't add the detail that mp3 (or streaming in whatever format) eliminates. Compare a CD and mp3 of the same track with a decent headphone (or a speaker) and you will hear that compression changes sounds.

but it all depends on what kind of music you listen to. For some of today's music even laptop speakers are enough 🤷
