Do 320kbps mp3 files really sound better? Take the test

Basic DSP knowledge tells us that a digital audio copy is exactly the same quality as the original.

Also, testing the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps MP3s over and over again is like drinking warm beer all the time to make sure it's really worse than the cold one.

Audio CD is an old technology. It doesn't have advanced error correction method. With poor quality CD-R, it's true that the quality is not the same.

Excluding from skipping and audible glitches that doesn't sound plausible.

i.e. copying an audio CD can create gross errors but not a more subtle change in audio quality (loss of dynamics/frequencies etc).

If you disagree could you point me towards some evidence?
