I've got a pair of Meze 99 Classics hooked up to a FiiO BTR5 (what I'm told is a reasonable quality set of headphones, and a reasonable quality DAC), and I've had hearing tests, my hearing is apparently fine. And yet, despite my best efforts including A-B testing, no, I can't tell the difference between 320kbps and lossless. Having said that, anything below 192kbps is basically unlistenable as I am able to hear 99% of the detail that's normally there; having it crunched down to something like 128kbps is just jarring, and even at 192 it's still not amazing.
