I didn't notice that this had been mentioned yet so apologies if this was covered.

BT streaming will be different than BT direct from your device, no? I have Amazon music and have set all my songs to play direct from my phone so I don't have to stream every time I am listening to music. I like to D/L via Wifi which loads an MP3 onto my phone and the app will also incorporate my already loaded MP3s to the playlist. Pandora (streaming only) is not nearly as good as my Amazon Music app...but they are both over BT.

Also, going 70mph it would really be hard to tell either way.

It will simply make a larger, louder just as crappy version!
A... NOPE. Converting 128 to f.e. 320kbps will not make it louder. Also will not make it better as you stated. Garbage in is garbage out. Simple lol.
