that engagement materially impacts sound quality because you're actively listening.

It impacts the perception of sound quality, not the actual sound quality.

You could get engagement through digital audio files too, though.

But I'd argue that it doesn't affect the sound quality, but the enjoyment of the sound. The sound waves themselves don't actually change because we're actively engaging.
