RE: Yesterday I did some comparisons between 96kHz and 192kHz on my MAC Mini

You can try this test, which incidentally will also train your ears to be able to distinguish lossy artefacts.

Take a music piece that you know really well, with lots of complex high frequencies (cymbals, steel brushes, bells etc.)

Convert them at a variety of bitrates (64, 96, 128, ... all the way to 320).

First listen to the lossless, then listen to the 64. You should be able to clearly hear the artefacts. Now progressively alternate between lossless and the next higher bitrate until you can't hear the artefacts.

For me, the cutover point tends to be around 192-256 kbps.
