Should I be expecting to hear much of a difference in the lossless tracks as opposed to a 640k DD track? Are my speakers not good enough for that?

There is no doubt that lossless audio is superior to lossy codecs. However, DD and DTS at their higher bit rates are very satisfactory on a good system. How much of a difference you hear depends on four things:

1. Your A/V Receiver, Blu-Ray player, connections, etc.
2. Your speakers.
3. Your room acoustics.
4. Your hearing. Unfortunately, many people over the age of 30-40 have significant loss of hearing due to long-term exposure to loud music (walkman, discman, ipod, rock concerts, blasting car radio, etc.). Usually, the high frequency sound sensitivity gets affected first.

I bet you that if we run a double blind test, a large number of people may not be able to tell one audio codec from another.
