I did a similar experiment on myself. For songs I knew very well on good headphones, I could reliably distinguish up to 320 kbps on MP3 and 256 kbps AAC from the lossless copy. For songs I didn’t know as well, 128 kbps AAC was usually transparent. My takeaway from the experience was that the bitrate didn’t really matter above 128 Kbps AAC. This was me paying super close attention and trying to find flaws in the encoding, not actually listening to music. I periodically rerun the test in myself as I get better equipment (laptop DACs are quite good now, for example) and get similar results. Age will be a limiting factor soon as it takes my hearing. |
