I really can't. I find it weird to watch a dvd. The bitrate of a 50GB bluray is phenomenal. I'm kind of a video and audiophile. I only listen and watch to the highest quality possible. Thats why I buy cd's and have FLACs. Even anime, I get them in 10bit whenever possible.

I assume FLACs are something to do with lossless audio? Another thing I don't see the point of unless you have a lot of spare cash, a proper speaker setup done by a sound engineer (unless you have a perfect box room with no furniture) and play your music at a ridiculous volume.
Still, each to their own.

You don't need a sound engineer to hear the difference. I can hear the difference between mp3 and cd in the car. The clarity in higher frequencies and surround is very different.
I also noticed a difference when I changed my ps3's music output from the default 48khz to 44.1/88.2/176.4. Music is sampled in 44.1khz, converting it to 48khz introduces artifacts that you can hear. No ridiculous volume needed, avoid it actually, you won't hear the difference while you are blasting your ears.
I wish 96khz mixing would become more comon for blu-ray. Akira's lossless 24bit 192khz surround track sounds phenomenal. Sure the human ear can't hear such high frequences (I probably can't hear anything above 20khz at my age) but the extra resolution allows for a much cleaner mix that my amplifier adjusts to simulate the sound of a full size movie theater. Also the harmonic frequencies and timing between surround channels are much more precise allowing for better placement and interaction between sounds.
You do need a quality amp with 196khz 24bit dacs to get the full benefit and some quality speakers. TV speakers don't cut it.

Well a cars speakers are generally placed where they are best already, what I meant was with different room sizes and shapes if you don't put home speakers in the right place it sounds odd when you move about the room.
However I can't tell the difference between CD and MP3, hell on my old laptop (which had limited space) I ripped some of my music to play at 96kbps and could only tell the difference if I played it on the main living room speakers (I usually listen with earphones)
