I do not know if it is considered a "reliable" test but I scored many times 5/6 on the NPR test (after trials because its is asks to tell which file is lossless, i.e. of best quality. Finding différences was not that hard even if they are honestly very subtle, but that does not mean that one sounded better than the other, better is just subjective.). one track have been always impossible to tell aside from "lucky" pull for me.
However, I do not know why, I noticed that I generally set volume a bit higher with AAC tracks than with ALAC ones and that I have more hearing fatigue with AAC. It was not on purpose as I do not that care.
Anyway, from a purely theoritical point of view, I do not see the point of lossy music aside from storage reasons which have been gone for a long time (1 To storage is pretty "small" nowadays and it can hold more lossless music that I might hear for the rest of my life...).
