Are there any that are truly exceptional?
Here is one I've been browsing lately:
I can reliably tell a difference between Fraunhofer encoded 256k and
FLAC. The highs are the giveaway, there is more resolution in the FLAC.
For a lot of music the difference doesn't matter, though.

this isn't accurate. You are comparing two waveforms, and by

Start off with old recordings (relatively so, that is) of 'old faithful'
