I apologize if this question has been asked already, but I am very new to the subject of high end audio.
It is my understanding that a very high end sound system (by non-audiophile standards) is necessary to hear an obvious difference between CD's and vinyl records, or even a big difference between 320k MP3 and FLAC files. The question I have is: what kind of gear would I need to have in order to hear a significant difference between all of these formats? For example, would the entry level system in this article be enough?

Thanks in advance.
