If you're an audiophile with a halfway decent setup you can easily tell the difference between FLAC and MP3 on your own equipment, with music you know well. Easily.

The problem is the heckin' science fans set up listening tests with arbitrary equipment and music and people who are randomly selected. Most people don't give a shit, and don't have a trained ear. Most people don't listen to music critically, it's just a type of noise to them that happens to be pleasing or not. It's amazing that people actually prop these types of tests up as scientific. I can easily hear the difference between different DACs in different devices. Whether or not their output stage is class A or AB or the dreaded D makes a difference too.

Most people are just poor and there are lots of Amazon ad-bots out there selling shitty bluetooth soundbars and then there's a bunch of chinks and poos and other thirdies who are DESTRUCTIVELY EQ'ing their headphones and pretending this results in better audio... lots of disinformation out there.

I will teach you plebs. Ask away. And try not to sound TOO mad.
