The ability to tell the difference between the sounds of the different bit rates will greatly depend on the quality of your sound equipment.
On small ear phones, or average car audio, it is hard to consistently tell. Just like Photon, you can get the higher quality sound right about 60% of the time.
However, if you ever dock your ipod to a full range home stereo (and a good one), you can easily tell the difference. You'll need good full range speakers powered by a good amp and receiver. The difference in the right set up is night and day.
