RE: What % of what format do you listen to? Here's mine

What nobody seems to get is that the format really doesn't matter all that much.

By the time all the primary distortions have their way, most of the music info embedded in the recording that is processed falls below such a raised noise floor, that even the best playbacks systems are only able to audibly reproduce roughly the equivalent of a poorly-engineered MP3 track.

And a higher-rez format is just a tad better than that same poorly-engineered MP3 track.
