Is it any wonder that people felt the HD signal had superior audio
quality? Things don't sound so good when you squash the dynamic range.
So this is just a classic case of the fox guarding the henhouse, isn't it.

My very favorite complaint about broadcast radio. There is no LEGITIMATE
reason to process broadcast audio. Yes, I know they try to tell us that that
they need to sculpt it for listening in a car. And of course, the stations
do it to try to compete for the attention of listeners by "who's the
loudest?" All it really does, though, is distort the program material, and
ruin the listening experience by cutting the dynamic range so far that in
many cases the difference between highest and lowest levels in a given track
is 6 dB or less. This not an exaggeration.
