I can't tell the difference between a 320 kb/sec mp3 and a FLAC. Perhaps with really high end gear you can. I suspect any differences would be to do with dynamics and soundstage.

I still rip my CDs to FLAC though, and my vinyl, because I don't like the idea of losing anything from the original, and I have the diskspace.
