If you can't hear the difference between a normal CD and a rip at 192Kbps AAC then you need either some ear plugs or a better stereo at home....
It's compression, there must be some loss when you're compressing to that extreme.
However on the whole i do agree with your statement, i use a Nano purely because i like to cycle my songs around and also at 192Kbps the audio quality is fine for my usual usage of ona train or plane, Etymotic headphones are a worthy investment though!
