While my Cambridge Soundworks system *seems* to do justice to the 128/44 MP3s at the house, I was just wondering when you got into a more enveloping environment of a car if you started to hear compression artifacts and such.

Should one expect CD quality? Something a little less? Assume too that I'm talking about a fairly well recorded CD to begin with that's been ripped.

Would a person notice in an "eyes closed" test, the difference between an MP3 playing on an Empeg and the actual CD itself?

Thanks,

Something like #14000 (give or take a few)
