If I understand you correctly, you are saying that you heard a specific recording at hi-res and really liked it, but didn't compare it to the same recording on mp3 or cd.

Of course, there are specific recordings that are better than others. That's one big reason that classical music fans will search around for specific recordings of a piece, for example, Antal Dorati's 1959 recording of the 1812 overture with the Minneapolis Symphony is frequently pointed to as a top recording. Where something is recorded, how it's recorded and the musicians involved can have a huge impact of the sound.
