Actually the MP3 sample is first. I'm all for fighting the good fight for sound quality, though.
I kind of wonder about the idea that you can hear differences in a big club that you can't on headphones or home speakers. Honestly, I can't hear anything particularly well at 130 decibels, and by the time your sound reaches the loudspeakers it's been through digital->analog->digital conversion, EQ, compression, crossovers and limiters. The bass and high end are coming from point sources several feet apart. A club system can sound very good, but can it help you distinguish subtle differences?
