Maybe you could look for sponsorship from one of the audiophile
equipment companies. You know, the ones that sell 99.999999% oxygen-free
cables and other crap that makes no measurable difference whatsoever,
but which the buyers are convinced sounds better because of the price.

Perhaps the audiophiles themselves would become sudden fans of your
compression-resistant music and buy fancy HD recordings of it, to
justify wasting their money on the kit.

I reckon the stuff would turn out to sound hideous, but that would only
make it funnier.
