This change will definitely be noticeable with high quality speakers or headphones. He's setting too many things in this main post. I set these:

default-sample-format = s24le
default-sample-rate = 192000
resample-method = speex-float-10
avoid-resampling = true

The most impactful change is resample-method. It's set very conservatively for low CPU usage.

Get you's a third opinion too: https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/search?q=default-sample-rate&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all

Aren't these settings dependent on distro? I mean do all distros need such adjustments?

These are pulseaudio settings, so I think 90% of distros need this adjustment. Ubuntu and Arch variants certainly do. Some hardcore folks don't use pulseaudio but I don't know much about that.
