And yet those mastering processes/decisions are
far more sonically audible than the differences
between formats(mp3, CD, and high-res lossless).
Anyone stating otherwise is full of it.

Post production processing is irrelevant in comparing the sound quality
of various formats. If you don't believe that, take a 24 bit recording,
then work through to 16 bit, then/ mp3 at various rates, and the
differences in quality will be obvious even on the average domestic
equipment.

The fact that processing needs to be different for analogue and digital
formats to get the best out of either is proof that the formats sound
different.
