". If I have only ONE great sounding CD (and I have quite a few) that means they all 'could' be."
No. That does not follow. Some music is more demanding than others. Also, you don't know how much better that great CD could have been. It might have been "out of this world".
Abe is right, though. In general differences in mastering are much greater than differences in format. There is another factor. Those engineers with the highest quality standards are going to be using the highest resolution format, hang the cost and inconvenience. Those using lower resolution mastering equipment do so either because they are in it for a quick buck or because they haven't developed their listening skills to the point where they can hear the quirks of converters operating in various formats.
