Apart from the misunderstanding, I think it would be actually interesting if you could buy the un-mastered version, plus "mastering" files to use depending on your setup (e.g.: crappy headphones, car stereo, home stereo), but that would require multiple mastering sessions and wouldn't probably be very cost effective...

Or you could crowd-source them but then it might go against the creators intentions...

In a different field (digital cinema) the above is being done for color, lookup the ACES colorspace and workflows...

(Very) Basically the camera's recording goes through a process to make it into a standardized ACES colorspace. It will then being processed by editing, VFX, grading, etc... and then there's output transforms from ACES for each output device, like a cinema projector, a home TV or a mobile phone.

And yes, AFAIR, that does need grading for each targeted output device, because of how we see and perceive color depending on the environment we're in...

It would be awesome (EDIT: to have something like that) for music as well
