Upon more analysis, these files are basically mono and that's the main reason for the quality disparity people are noticing. There appears to be two channels in the source oggs, but they're basically the same which effecively results in mono output. This would suggest to me the issue is the samples Jordan used after all: mostly mono and he made no use of pan in his mix.
Hey again qubodup - in the possibility that Jordan accidentally output these files in mono, can you ask him about it? Can he provide us with stereo versions? Ideally, with the same license.
Thanks for sharing all this fantastic work! @kagerato - I'm not so sure it's the source samples that's the issue, as it sounds more like there's an EQ doing an unbias crop which could even be on the output. Nothing a little remastering couldn't fix if Jordan wishes.

Update: Talked with MedicineStorm about this and the community will take your word for it. Thanks for the submission!

I think I'd call that delay more than arpeggio, but in any case it's nice! Thanks for this!
Totally and utterly, perfecto. Thank you!
This tune brings tears to my eyes, it's so beautiful.
Heh, the mixture of retro and classic intstruments is lovely.
Man... regains composure... This battle tune is staggeringly epic; so, so nice. Thank you _/|\_
One of the best tunes on OpenGameArt. Good show, bud.
