it know it may sound dumb, but can the motherboard's onboard sound play high res audio (flac); or do i need a dac/amp? also do the headphones matter in terms of playing it (i have ath m50x if that helps)

also can my samsung note 4 play high res audio?

my mother board is MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 if it help

Everyones ears are different. Your ears are not my ears.Your ears are not their ears.

You may end up spending several hundred $$$, and still not be able to tell an actual difference.
Your best bet is to maybe borrow some headphones, and maybe a sound card. See if there IS a difference, and if that is something you need to invest in.

If you can't tell the difference, how do you know there is a problem?
