I kept thinking it was just the YouTube vids but I downloaded the mp3s and for sure it does seem like the ACC version is literally worse quality than the AC one. I can have my speakers barely turned on and AC OWA will blast out. ACC has to be turned up and I still think i can hear instruments better in the AC one.

Did anyone else notice this?

And you're not an idiot for liking the CC version. It's not bad at all. It's just nto to my taste; especially compared to the others.
