Hi-res audio worth of it?

[charrotoro]

Hey there guys, it's two years since i deleted all my MP3 files and became a FLAC fan, mostly of my music is standard CD quality (16 bits 44.1KHz sampling rate) i have like 44 albums that are in the so-called HRA (Hi-resolution audio) which is 24-bit and from 44.1 to 192KHz, most stores sell 88.2 or 96KHz.

I do hear a small difference with small works f.e piano solo or a sonata with viola da gamba and Harpsichord, but on a big-scale work like a symphonic or a choral work yes is pretty noticiable, but i think that a well recorded and mastered Compact disc sounds as good as 24-bit music.

So personally i think is worth with big works but the file size of 1.40GB approximate is like what happened with wave nad mp3 in the 90's, i have a 2TB hard drive which are cheaper than flash storage. But overall i am torn if HRA is worth or not

I am not an audiophile, more of a music lover, so i like my music sounds as close to reality and witha  sony walkman A10-series it does even with standard CD files.
