A good production translates into different formats. Just like a bad production will never sound good even on the best system. Even at a lower bit rate, made with a poor encoder, a good mix will translate. Even on a cassette tape/boombox good mixing is evident to me.

Also, there are drastically different qualities for mp3 encoding. I can make one right now at the highest bitrate from a 24bit wav file it won't sound too far off a 16bit cd version. It will surely sound better on my speakers than if I were to listen to a cd(aif) through a radio staions cd player, compressors, limiters obscenity delay, etc... etc.. and finally dialed in through a tuner.
