The vast majority of people can't even tell the difference between high and low quality sound.  That is way most people don't bring it up.

You mention that BluRay has better ease of use than DVD, please explain.  From what I know, the only ease of use benefit is the scratch resistance.

Anyone can tell the difference between high quality and low quality sound.  Hard of hearing excluded of course.

 I think what you may mean is care about quality of sound.  Which many bluray owners do.  It's all about technological enthuisasm.  Which I like :)

"Studies have found that as long as you're using high-quality encoding software, music compressed to a bitrate of 128 kbps or more is "transparent"—in other words, most listeners can't distinguish it from CD quality."

I'll say it again.  Most people can't tell the difference between high and low quality sound.
