CD Quality Audio over Digital Formats

This talks about people choosing CD audio over mp3s or other digital formats.  I have a problem with the fact that this article does not address the capabilities of digital audio.  I remember when mp3s were exploding and it was the common belief that 128kbps bit rate was "CD Quality" which was definitely not the case.  Higher bit rates such as 256kpbs or 320kpbs were more like the real quality especially in the high frequencies.  Cymbals and high overtones always sounded garbled and annoying on 128kbps formats.
