There's been lots of discussions about this and I have been involved in a good few. From experience, most modern productions cause intersample peaks that may cause overload on playback. and the sound of that overload will be different depending on the kit playing it back. The listener can improve things slightly if they have CD/DVD player with an internal digital volume control you can wind down, but really it's a nightmare IMHO.
