I can't really tell the difference between lossy and lossless file formats from my hard drive and my system is pretty resolving.
There are times when I'm streaming from Tidal (regular subscription) where I can hear some distortion though - when I switch to a local file of the same track (not sure if it's the same master) the problem goes away. But I attribute it to the streaming and possible network congestion, way too many variables on that front I think.
