Why not a machine that can uncompress and restore the recording to its original dynamics? It seems this should be possible.
It is a shame that bad recordings can't be returned. To me after I pay $15.00 for a CD (or more) and it sound is hideous I should be able to return it and buy a new CD (not a exchange it for the same one).
Bad news for you LP fans, I've purchased just as many records that were poorly recorded as CDS.
It is not the format, it is the recording engineer, artists, etc. Some labels are noted for poor recordings while others tend to get it right.
I propose a machine (something like a DAC) that would take the digital hi rez feed and then give the user a choice on how it is mixed for car, mp3, redbook, no compression, natural dynamics, etc. This would give the enduser the choice.
