That's the whole point of that particular argument

Listen, I'm on the 'an interconnect is an interconnect' bandwagon, but I do recognize that there are some qualities to some wires that can
color what's reproduced. Whether that's good or bad, better or worse is a matter of taste.
My main point was your seeming derision of anyone who thinks there's better content out there than an MP3, or any way of making things sound better than a boombox.
MP3s are missing information that CDs possess and generally lose sound quality, be it to compression or bitrate.
CDs are 44.1 kHz, which while a decent bitrate is still a sampling of the true music. There are some high quality DACs that turn that information into a very smooth reproduction, some even approach good analog playback, but for the most part quality crafted SACDs/DVD-As and vinyl gives an objectively better experience.
And it's not just about hearing some absurdly high frequency, it's about closer approximation of the actual linear analog sound produced live.
