What? iTunes AAC is compressed as hell. I have compared AAC files vs. FLAC from CD source, and there is a MAJOR difference especially with older releases. The "Mastered for iTunes" albums are very close to FLAC, but there is still a difference.
If your downloading High Res files and listening to them on some generic music player (cell phone) vs. Sony Walkman (NWZ -A17), you will definitely hear the difference but you also need a great pair of headphones such as Sony's MDR-1A. I have both the walkman and the MDR-1As and the difference is massive in depth and quality when listening to a High Res music file vs AAC.
