B&O definitely exposes lower bitrate music files.
In many cases there is really no way around having a portion of your music collection below CD quality. BUT, at least find out if some of your "all time favorite" albums have been remastered in the past few years and buy them again for longterm enjoyment. If you've been dragging around an increasingly enormous music collection for the past 15 years like me, then you'll find lots of remasters to upgrade these staples.
I think the only other option is to a) rip a lot of your CDs into higher bitrate/lower compression formats (if you even still own the original CD's anymore),b) buy music from newer artists, or c) go with the MOG downloads that Stealth mentioned above.
Again, B&O will expose highly compressed music. You may obsess over it for a while like I did. I also put my very best quality music on the "music collection" internal drive and everything else is on my iPod in the console.
Good luck, and enjoy hearing music in a way that you may never have experienced before !
