I've been ripping CD's to my computer at different qualities and playing the same song with different bit rates, and I can definitely hear the difference between the higher and lower quality rips, but I have trouble describing and isolating what exactly are the differences.
I can also do the test on random (so not knowing if I'm listening to the higher or lower quality rip) and I can still tell which one is the better one or not (up to a certain extent, I limited buy my equipment at the higher quality).
I also did a test with playing my CD's and listening through different headphone and earphones and speakers, and once again I can hear different, but I can't really describe what they are, I don't know what exactly the differences are technically, although I can hear the difference between good and bad sound.
Any advice for developing critical listening?
