      I can absolutely hear the difference between 192 and lossless with any of my too-many-pairs-of nice headphones! Not at all with my AirBudz though.

      I can absolutely not tell in my car or my partner’s, despite us both having high-end sound systems (theirs is 2kUSD+ and I can’t even tell in there!)

          Bit depth affects noise floor, not frequency range.

          You are correct that the noise floor of 16 bit is well within the limits of human hearing, making 24 bit redundant outside of production.
