You obviously have not researched sound reproduction with new head units.

I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to my music as well, try to have at least flac or originals in the car. My head unit does have a 'multi-harmonizer' function which apparently cleans up a lot of the artefacts introduced when running mp3s. While it does a good job of cleaning them up I've found it also kills a few of my highs at certain frequencies :cry: This is coming from an 'sq headunit' as well. Don't get me wrong I still have the odd mp3 disk lying around in the car when I feel like a mix of music, but nothing beats an original disc (preferably one not pressed in Australia!)

You don't aim for sound reproduction, you aim for sonic bliss. Completely accurate sound production is impossible in the car environment. Creating sonic bliss on the other hand... thats what I do.

Would you like some? :)

CBF 250 and a Levin ZR
A car isn't a sound studio, but it doesn't take a very good ear to tell the difference between a 128kbit MP3 and a FLAC file (or equivalent).

At the end of the day MP3, for all it's merits, is a lossy compression, and the more you push the bitrate, the more sound you loose, and the worse it sounds. When you start talking 256+kbit MP3s in a car you might struggle to tell them apart from the original, but on a decent setup it will be possible.
