You sound like a candidate for buying Dre. Beat.s
Anyways, yeah, I have quite a few OLD OLD OLD 128kbps tracks in my music library, it makes my eyes water to hear them on my UM2's. It's that bad. 256kbps is a good baseline IMO. I will be buying CD's from now on and using high bit rates, and possibly lossless soon. I need to weed out my library anyways. Keep in mind, once you start worrying a ton about your files, make sure the DAC you're using be it on-board a computer or media player is what's taking those precious digital files and turning them into an analog signal.
