Ben,
Done enough sound engineering work (live and studio), mixing/post
production, CD and DVD mastering, etc to know which I speak (critical
listening). And done enough listening just for enjoyment too, Of course
YMMV. And YEMV, YBMV and YHMV ("Your Ears May Vary" and "Your Brain May
Vary" and "Your Hardware May Vary").
It's all psychoacoustics man.
Once you drive 65 it's hard to drive 55. Same with 192k and 256k ;-)

Silver, may I presume that you've done some sort of double-blind listening
tests and that you have extremely hifi equipment?
for topical reference:

cheerio,
Ben
PS - No, it does not seem like going backwards to me. I listen at 192kbps
and I don't think I can tell the difference above that.
So, on the contrary... for me, anything above 192 seems like a waste of disk
space. :)
