Ok, I bit … so to speak.
Very interesting observation. Based on this, I would think one of the following tracks, which has over 4x the DR as some of the others, would not sound nearly as pleasing to you. So which one is it do you think? No cheating by looking at the file info in Roon.

Roon says the CD has an overall average DR of 5. My rip is of this version. The track I’m talking about has a DR of 2x the CD average.
I must admit that this thread has gotten me intrigued about what people hear and the various explanations for why they do. I hear a clear difference between the one track with the much higher DR vs. the others, so I’m trying to see if I can appreciate what you’re getting at, especially with these perhaps not so highly-resolving 8 year old Sonos speakers and antiquated ears.
