I had downloaded those files and discovered that it just doesn't matter. I don't *ever* listen at the sorts of volume that would be necessary to hear these differences. I'd be deaf in days. Right now I'm listening to Joss Stone (sounds great) and my SPL meter says I'm only listening at around 75 dB. So that 96 dB (or 110 or whatever) dynamic range of CD (ripped to FLAC in this case) is unimportant because I'm never going to listen to it loud enough that it would matter. These days I only get high def audio if it's cheaper than the CD (yes, that does happen), or it's multi-channel (which I can certainly hear and love).
