For cleanly recorded Classical music destined to be played thru
high-end audio equipment in a room with good acoustic qualities (wall
coverings and carpets), I'd have to agree.
For heavily produced Dance music destined to be played thru multiple
scattered ruggedized PA speakers into a perhaps partially mirrored
roomful of people constantly shuffling and stepping about on a
suspended wood floor, music higher in quality than well encoded mp3
or AAC at 128 bps or better is probably beyond that which can make
a perceptable difference, in that setting.
My question was about Dance music.
IMHO. YMMV.
