Automotive hifi gurus rate 10% thd as the limit these days, if you

Compare music to drinks.
Some is like a strong brandy.
Some is like a fine wine.
The music you're playing sounds like Diet Coke

sort of sums up the car audio industry

Keep in mind that there is little point in having a 0.01% thd system when
you've got 60db of road noise.

I wish audio compression was available on CD players so I could listen to
classical music and hear the quiet passages without the loud ones exceeding
100db. I see 'nite mode' on home theater equipment all the time, but
nothing analogous for car stereo.

Perhaps audio process the original CD with software and burn a new
'tweaked' CD.
I'm pretty sure there's audio apps that can do that.
