Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: someone would have created a business to do that already.

"...the difference between MP3/AAC and CD - CD is 1,411kbps (kilobytes per second) where a AAC at 320kbps has removed 1,091kbps of information."

Incorrect. The actual amount of information removed is no more than about 530 kbps.

The original CD has 1411 kbps of data per second, but much of this data is redundant. For virtually all audio tracks the effective amount of information is no more than 60% of the raw data, as evidenced by the ability of lossless CODECs such as FLAC to recover all the information in the original file with a data rate no more than about 850 kbps.
