I have half decent equipment i.e. Schitt Lyr/Bifrost and Focal Clear.

For me it's very easy to tell the difference between regular AAC and Hi-Res lossless.

And I have been blind testing every day for years now as my streams switch quality when I go from Cellular to WiFi.

Oh, I don't doubt that people can distinguish AAC and 44.1 kHz at 16 bit! Anything beyond that is what I find questionable.
