You'd probably notice it with better audio gear.

Absolutely.

I had gone awhile without buying any albums on cd. Icky Thump by the White Stripes came out, I downloaded it and had been jamming it in the car every day.

I took a friend out shopping and seen a copy and thought, “You know what? I want the album art.”

I took my burned cd out of the player and put the actual release on there.

“Boodoodwiddle dah boom boom boom boom boom boom boom, bah dah bow!!!”

I couldn’t believe how powerful it sounded.

I only fucked with flac after that.

You need to do spectral analysis too to see if it's not upscale from 320bit

Exactly. Speakers make the difference. My car audio has a better range then my home setup. I haven't gotten a subwoofer for my home. But the same songs from my phone sound a million times better in my car than on my home audio setup. Great speakers with a cheap head unit will sound better than the most expensive unit using cheap crappy speakers.

Yeah, bass suffers a lot.

It's the same with movies. The difference between Netflix and a Blu-ray with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-MA is night and day on a half decent home theatre setup. On TV speakers you'd likely hear no difference at all.
