320kbps is basically indistinguishable from lossless, even with insanely good headphones/amplifier/DAC/speakers.

LOL, audiophiles always want the best, far past the point of diminishing returns. Kinda like PC builders. (I've been guilty of the later.)

Never mind that the first step in playing that stuff involves filtering all that extra shit out because a) I can't hear it, and b) the speakers can't reproduce it. All because I refuse to believe in the sampling theorem.
