    I hear the difference, it’s very clear difference with either heavy metal or music with natural sounds.

      Do you hear it consistently under double-blind conditions?

        Yes, i actually can’t listen to Spotify (even their HD) because the quality is so bad (sounds noticably bad to me). I pay for lossless streaming even though some indie music is not available on the lossless service so i go look for it on lossy services.

      you’re probably lying or this is kind of placebo effect .
      ogg can reach transparency at even 150kbps, and you want to use double that for converting flacs.

        Is ogg lossless? Just because you have limited hearing doesn’t mean there aren’t people who can hear differences. There are women who can see more colors than normal people tetrachromacy. Assuming someone is lying because they aren’t hearing damaged is absurd. Also young kids have better hearing(less damage) than adults, hearing damaged from work or life conditions like traffic with windows down.
