The only remastering any of Ayu's catalog has had have been on A BEST and A BEST 2, sadly... and the high resolution audio version of "July 1st" that they put on the "Step by step" digital single.
You're not doing anything wrong, but different headphones can help... I have a pair of Audio Technica m50x headphones and for the money they're fantastic. Less distortion, MUCH better clarity on the middle ranges.
Ayu's music has always been very saturated which, when you have a good sound system, is AMAZINGLY cool, but in recent years people's sound systems and onboard computer audio seem to have gotten much worse, which I don't think is just me... I don't remember needing to spend multiple hundreds of dollars on headphones or decent speakers for Ayu's music to sound good back in 2001, you know?
But that saturation of sound is a double-edged sword for sure... listening to "SURREAL" on vinyl is one of the most depressing things I've ever experienced. It was SO distorted.
