Recently, I purchased a Kenwood Music Keg, which I absolutely love. My question is, I download all my music via mp3 format. I always use the highest possible quality tracks I can find, but I know the quality is not as good as a professionally engineered compact disc. My question is, does any company (like Audio Control) make any product such as an equalizer of some sort that would help me get the most out of my mp3's?

In my opinion, out of all the mp3's that I have, the ones that sound the best are the one that are done at 256 KBPS or higher. Yeah they are bigger, but they sound better. An eq would help, but it may not make that much of a difference.

if you are ripping roxio easy cd creator platinum does all ripping at 320kps (cd quality) I have 2 phoenix gold 30 band eqs and i dont have problems with sound on lower quality mp3s due to the fact that the lower the kps on the download you lose quality starting with the extreme highs and the extreme lows using a eq with more bands can help you boost those freq. to help balance the sound
