Me too, I do it for exactly the same reason. Have unexceptional sound card but I think there is going to be a difference when using old triple speaker system + a CD player.
Being meore into ethnic, jazz and avant, I think I can hear the difference. There's like more "warmth" to the sax part in lossless, for, example. Still, have to blind-test myself and probably will prove myself wrong.
A great article! Thanks a lot,
