Now not everone suffers from this but its the biggest problem with digital playback for most folks. One way to alleviate the problem is to listen to lo-res, quite a few members prefer Spotify to Tidal/Qobuz for example. I've gone back to using the headphone out of my laptop rather than external DACs cos, although its lower res, it doesn't make my ears bleed. Any more solutions out there? Hi-fi and lo-res would appear to be diametrically opposed concepts. For most audiophiles, the former is the goal and would be viewed as unattainable with the latter. With currently available technology, a well configured digital playback system should not display the negative characteristics you describe.

Dunno what you are specifically referring to when you use the term "low resolution" but, if you are talking MP3, the difference from listening to hi-res on a well configured system could, depending on the quality of the recording, amount to a "major sacrifice".
