anyone listened to iTunes Plus on high end system?


Just curious if anyone has taken a recording of an iTunes plus AAC 256k file and compared an actual CD version on a high end system. I know AAC is "lossy", but was wondering if there was a human ear difference. On my low to mid-fi system, I cannot hear a difference. And I have really sensitive ears. I'd like to hear from the high end world.

no question that there is an obvious difference between Apple Lossless and AAC

you don't need a real high end system to hear it
Note - just in case someone is tracking along - there is a big difference between what Abery is listening to - AAC@256 and what Knownothing is referencing which is AIFF (uncompressed format)

Absolutely no comparison
