I'd try a few out and see if you really hear a difference. I've done blind A/B tests with CD quality files and much higher resolution ones and I struggled to hear any kind of difference between the two. Never underestimate the placebo effect of non-blind comparisons which is what was going on in that video.
And like I said above, the player is the core of all this. You can already get high resolution FLAC files and few people can reliably tell the difference between them and a lossless CD quality file. But if the player has an excellent DAC, filter, and preamp then it should be able to make any decent digital file sound better whether it be CD quality or even a 320 kbps MP3.
