That's not true. If you said 320kbps MP3 then maybe I'd agree. 128 sounds crushed as hell on most decent setups.



Have you done a proper AB blind test to verify that?

I studied sound engineering and we did that test. Most people failed and it was in a studio environment. I couldn't imagine regular people not interested in audio with consumer gear.

Edit:

If you do the AB test, you really need to get pretty close to 100% success to claim you can hear the difference. Anything closer to 50% is just random luck.
