That's normal, don't worry about fear of missing out, not a lot of people have access to 24-bit/16-bit FLAC and so on. Those files are usually what people like to differentiate with, like they compare it to 320kbps MP3, 256kbps AAC, et cetera.

These days yes those streaming services also offer lossless now but there's some random fake marketing and snake oil stuff there too, so just stick to what sounds best to you. For the most part, if you listen to those higher quality, higher bitrate, and so on stuff, it will drain more battery and so that can influence the usage.

Try binaural ASMR tracks or say use Bluetooth, usually those will let you hear more differences due to the different factors with LDAC, AptX Adaptive, et cetera. For some people the louder you listen, the more you hear the compression/static/etc.

Here's some videos/channels for ASMR triggers: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/11advtw/what_do_you_do_with_your_gear/j9rw19i/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/xqq9kw/can_a_normal_person_hear_binaural_sound_when/iqcayk9/

Try the ASMR videos with the $1000-10000 microphones, lmao. Like the Neumann KU 100 microphone, it may show better spaciousness, sharpness, et cetera.

Hatomugi ASMR has this about new (about a week old) Neumann KU 100 ASMR video with rubber gloves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJHZX3GpgG4

Rapunzel ASMR has a slow twin ear cleaning video (also about a week old) with the $6000 3Dio Omni Pro microphone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUCLtkmlrVo
