Beware, I'm going to say something wildly inappropriate.
I have some albums in 192 kHz / 24-bit FLAC, and some albums in 44.1 kHz / 16-bit FLAC — and I don't hear any difference. I mean, I don't have the same album in two variants to compare; but in general I can't tell if I'm listening to the lower or higher quality stuff. Horrible, isn't it?
And before you ask: yes, I have a hardware that can handle it. Well, except that my speakers are generally considered not-very-good-quality People's Republic of Poland stuff, but well, obviously I won't be replacing good speakers when they sound fine (yeah, I know I'm totally clueless, never heard really good speakers in my life, et cetera).
Well, but at least I definitely hear a difference between FLACs and whatever shit Spotify streams. Just saying.
