"As for the preamp, realistically 70db is a very large dynamic shift for most music as you note. A preamp that could do 70db perfectly would be much superior IMO to one that did 90db in mediocre fashion."
Bingo! And therein lies the problem with digital (CD) audio. At the soft extremes it suffers from "bit strangulation". Good producers know that and employ a volume range that does not -- but then that tends towards "studio mezzo-forte". Feh!
