This, definitely! Get the same high bitrate MP3 and burn it to a CD and then listen to the diff between that and playing it straight off your mp3 player through the AUX channel. Big difference - noticeably better fidelity and bass much more punchy.

FWIW, If you want the best reproduction; record the songs as .wav file format - Wave sound files. These are much better quality (no loss at all from CD quality), but obviously with that they are much bigger file sizes (approx. 10x) when compared to the very compressed .mp3 format, so you won't fit any where near as many songs on a disc. I play drums along with music for practise and could not hear the instruments properly with the mp3 format. Re-dubbed as wav files and all good. Hear every instruments notes in full.
I hope there is amplifier adjustments with the Meridian systems. I opted out of the 825W 17speaker system because of cost and someone on here said the standard HSE Hi Ice 380W system was pretty damn good. Three weeks and I'll find out for myself.

I Bluetooth all my music or plug it via USB iPod and find the 11 speaker HK system to be bloody awesome and I love my music good quality and with a bit of volume so I should hope the 17 spk one is out of the world haha. Fingers crossed I would of loved it in my car but I'm really happy with the 11 spk in the HSE.

Doesn't make it very clear, but maybe there's a "fix".....
