[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8634062, member: 650438"] No matter how high res your music is, if your audio setup is poor, your overall sound quality is poor. We focus more on the actual aspects that affect sound quality such as, phase, reflections, tuning, deadening, absorption, speaker placement and positioning, crossovers, EQ etc... high quality files is not going to make a poorly setup system automatically sound top tier. This is not home audio or head phone audio. You literally have a noisy and reflective car environment to fight against. You literally have 1000 other factors to worry about other than trying to play higher resolution files when someone on a well done setup with crappy 192kbps mp3s is sounding night and day better than someone else playing lossless files on a poorly done setup. Literally is what happens when i meet so called "audiophiles" that have high dollar home gear, high dollar headphone gear and when it comes to the car, they have high dollar equipment, poorly setup, poorly done. Even on sh*tty youtube, my system sounds far better than theirs while costing a 1/4th of theirs. When i jump to high quality files, they instantly ask me to redo their setup. High quality files will not magically get you a proper blend between mid and tweeter, a semi flat and accurate response nor any sound stage. However if you have those on point installed and tuned, the higher quality files will be a nice cherry on the top. [/QUOTE]
