After 256k it's very difficult for me to hear a difference.
But 192k is definitely not good enough.

If you can't hear the difference between lossy and lossless, that's because either you are not trained to distinguish small nuances in sound, or don't know what to look for and how the differences present themselves, or use misic that was badly recorded, or your gear is not capable of presenting difference (i.e source, cables, amp and headphones are not resolving enough).
That's all, there are no other reasons.
Trained ?? hmmm...
I actually have 2 iPods, so what I did in the first one was rip lossless and in the other one rip to 320kb/s (AAC, VBR), and then compare the two with the same headphones, and same volume.
However, on a good setup with a high quality source and with at-home listening, it will be no problem to tell them apart.
