If you look at the peak level of various tracks on a given CD you can see whether the mastering engineer changed track gain 'post-limiter' in order to better match levels.

Now it's clear.
I'm agree that a digital brickwall limiter at the very end of a mastering chain is the best way for maintaining a fixed output ceiling.
Thanks for your feedbacks.
