No, for that you need vinyl or tape and a specially built room in your house. "High fidelity" is not possible in a small confined noisy space such as a car. Audio CDs are compressed because they are digital and by definition you lose something from the analog original. People think of them as not being compressed only because they are "good enough". But digital is not analog.

On the other hand, in many tests done in those special rooms, very few people can tell the difference between GOOD quality 192bps MP3s and the original analog. This is not ITunes or Microsoft or the myriad other thrown together MP3 encoders but a good compressor like L.A.M.E.. Go to 320bps and I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference. The MP3 standard only defines how the sound is uncompressed from the file. How the sound gets compressed and what gets thrown away and what gets emphasized is up the the author of the compression software. The same applies to the compression used to make an audio CD which is up to the studio making the CD. There is a HUGE difference in compression products.

I know how it works. I said it in post #5.
BTW, GM does not refer to the in-dash unit as a 6 disc CD "PLAYER". Weather it's in the back or built into the dash they are both CD CHANGERS.
