Yes, but what do each sound like after passing through two or three 
generations of transcoding (compression in the automation system, compression 
on the STL, not to mention the whatever-you-call-it super-secret IBOC codec).  
One of the strengths of L2 is that it tends to resist degradation due to 
transcoding better than most any other algorithm I know of, particularly at 
higher bitrates.

Remember, it's what it sounds like *on the listener's receiver* that matters 
in the end, not how it sounds on your studio monitors.

Cheers!
