I was able to hear a difference when listening on big speakers but minimal to zero difference when listening via headphones. Both methods with no audiophile-grade equipment just my old stuff. But the difference when listening to music on big speakers is very nice. Did I need it? Probably not. But do I enjoy the audible 15-10% quality boost? sure. Not all music that I listen to has an audible difference though.
The way i would describe, ONLY WHEN COMPARING BOTH, is as if the lossy track had a slight filter that blocks small bits of clarity and sound volume? The lossy track sounds great nonetheless but you play a lossless track that does have a noticeable difference its a cool moment and you dont wanna go back.
anyways this is coming from just a casual listener it could all be in my head. Just the opinion of a regular dude.
