There's a lot of music that is mastered for the car! When I upgraded my system I realized that a recording that sounds truly magical in the car -- Lonely & Blue: The Deepest Soul of Otis -- does not sound magical on a less limited high resolving system. The same tracks on Otis Redding King of Soul in 96/24 (and beautifully remastered) are far less engaging in the car and magical at home. ("Amen" from the latter is just incredible on the Grimm or the Devialet).
