I find it sad that so many on this forum say they cannot tell.
My opinion is simply back up your music in the highest quality possible just in case something happens to your discs. I've seen people rip things in Wav files, or just keep CD images around.
For playback I tend to favor FLAC, I don't have a ton of money in audio equipment, but you should be able to hear a difference. If you cannot, I'd recommend listening to something that doesn't attempt to keep the volume above 11 for the whole time, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, Classical, you will hear a difference...plan and simply.
of course B&W 601's tend to not play nice with MP3's in comparison.
