I thought about posting on the Auralic forum regarding this as I do post there from time to time. I too listen mainly to jazz and I will say the compressed sounding titles tend to be non-jazz such as rock and 90s power pop which likely are lower quality original recordings and masters compared to the jazz titles. But when I stream Talking Heads "Speaking in Tongues" at 24/96 or Son Volt "Trace" also at 24/96 they sound brilliant. I know for a fact those happen to be two really well recorded albums to begin with. I think I have my answer.
