convert audio files from 256kbps tot 1411kbps

Question

I would like to know if i gain any extra music quality (depth, clarity etc.) by converting my music files in Itunes from 256kbps to 1411kbps (WAV)

Apple Lossless format seems to be good to.

I read somewhere that converting in Itunes from 256kbps to a higher kbps format only adds extra bites. The extra quality isn't there however...

Has anyone got an opinion about this stuff?

No, you don't. The music needs to be originally imported at the higher bitrate to get the benefit of it; this isn't possible for iTunes Store music.
