First, it's more of a mental exercise than one I believe I can actually discern between, especially when listening in a car.
But... if you had a choice of a good 44.1kHz/16 bit lossless audio source playing through the stereo... and you had to choose between it being transmitted over Bluetooth using the lossy AAC codec... or you can play it "directly" but the audio must be resampled to 48kHz... which is "worse"?
Detailed Info: I use Roon and in my Tesla... there's no "aux in" and normally, there's no Apple CarPlay. Using a Raspberry Pi and a custom software build for it called TeslaAndroid (https://teslaandroid.com) I am able to have CarPlay in my Tesla.
One way to listen to music is to use either Tidal or Roon ARC on my iPhone via CarPlay but that method sends audio to my car via Bluetooth. Tesla only supports AAC Bluetooth codec so i will be lossy Bluetooth.
Another way is to use the Raspberry Pi (running Android 13) which gets displayed on the Tesla via the Tesla browser. The audio playing through the browser is a very clean "lossless" audio stream but because of the nature of the Android OS... it resamples everything to 48kHz.
Now... none of this is truly "crucial" because it's in a car and I honestly can't tell the difference either way... but as I was setting up and playing with Tesla Android in the car, it made me think and wonder which is the lesser of two evils if I had to choose.
