I mostly listen to music on a Windows pc with a FIIO Q7, HD560 in Foobar2k, which I consider to be literally baby level gear compare with the setups and gear some users have here. Anyway, I have been checking on rebuilding my music library and I notice that FLACs with 24b-48kHz really sound different from the previous tracks I had, but above that i.e., 24b-96kHz, 24b-192kHz or even DSF tracks does not sound different at all.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I literally just change from some Marshall Monitors and listening music in windows VLC to this beginner level gear. So, I assume my lack of knowledge and lack of higher level gear is the culprit to me not finding any difference with quality levels above 48kHz. I hope the community can help me with some insights for me to understand a little more, and tweak something’s while I get use to this hobby.

PD. I am not planning on buying more gear at the moment, maybe in the future I will get into more advance level stuff.

          Yes, but what about it?

          The difference between for example 256 Kbps AAC and 44.1/16 is tiny, most people can’t tell the difference.
