(Many stations process heavily, leaving no detail and a fatiguing sound.) If you have large loudspeakers or are in a quiet room you may prefer to hear the full dynamic range of music from the studio desk output, as the producer intended.

The ideal dynamic range (quietest to loudest) depends on the situation, from this Audio Engineering Society paper.
