Not necessarily.So to me that's pretty clear that I can differentiate between 128 mp3s vs 320 mp3s but not as easily 320 to uncompressed wav's with the basic built in sound equipment in the laptop. I would have to assume that it would be easier to differentiate with a higher end external dac and higher end headphones than the Meze's.
What you mention is quite the typical result when AB-ing stuff.
Properly encoded MP3 files are already nice-sounding (which hereby excludes 128kbps), so hearing clear differences between 320kbps MP3 and FLAC is fairly difficult for most people (including myself).
My reason for choosing FLAC is more that it is a most efficient format to keep your library lossless in terms of size, should the market switch to something else than mp3 one day.
