Are there any that are truly exceptional?
Here is one I've been browsing lately:
I can reliably tell a difference between Fraunhofer encoded 256k and
FLAC. The highs are the giveaway, there is more resolution in the FLAC.
For a lot of music the difference doesn't matter, though.

this isn't accurate. You are comparing two waveforms, and by

Actually this might be very very misleading.

Start off with old recordings (relatively so, that is) of 'old faithful'
