Headphones play a big role here.

If I plug in my budget earbuds I can't notice anything but with my studio headphones (which I normally use for everything) it's super distracting.

Studio headphones ftw!

But yeah it's true, you hear more 'imperfections' when using higher-end audio gear. Wouldn't go back though.

I had the same experience way back, dithering on old CRT with composite videos is smoother since you create new colors given how the signal is transfered and converted compared to a high resolution computer display (800x600). Now days I'm pretty sure there are GPU filters for that.

Can this also be fixed by filters?

Ahh. Using speakers.
