Finer resolution. More definition. More micro detail, and thusly sounds more realistic.Have you ever listened to a 15ips reel to reel tape? I never have, so that's a real question. Did you notice any type of difference between that and a CD? Would you be so kind as to give your impressions to the rest of the asylum?
Edit; I realize these are three adjectives describing the same thing, and that may be all hi-res does better, but to people who spend more that $50 on cables and AC cords you would think that's huge.
I will be honest with you. It's enough of an improvement for me that I have decided to rebuild my music collection with 24/192 files as much as I am able. I keep seeing very high end dacs like say a used Meitner UA1 for sale, but I make the choice that I would rather have $4,000 in 24/192 files than a new dac. YMMV.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
