I've actually done the comparison between 256 AAC and lossless on my PC, and frankly I can't hear any obvious difference between the two. I honestly think any perceived increase in sound quality is a placebo effect. It's likely that the difference is so minute that the average person just can't hear. Either that, or I have bad ears.
People have passed blind tests 320kbps vs lossless. The difference is there, but usually not significant enough to tell for most people. I can't tell the difference between 320kbps vs lossless for the most part. You haven't heard hi res files yet so you shouldn't really be saying there's no difference. And no, I'm not trying to claim that there is a difference, but it's kind of wrong to say that there isn't when you can't prove it, or when you haven't even heard it. And that includes the differences between DAPs.
