Best SQ and MP3 don't belong in the same sentence. On headphones it doesn't make quite as much difference (especially average headphones or earbuds), but when you play it on a system capable of decent resolution, compression will generally be much more noticeable, even at 256K. On headphones, 192K is fine for me.

You didn't mention what MODEL of Onkyo we're talking about.
