I have a ask. I have used Diana Krall's - A Case Of You (Live) from the Live In Paris album as one of my test tracks (for some weird reason). If streamed from Qobuz or Spotify, Diana's vocals are clearly on right side in my system. I have also the Analogue Production's vinyl version of the album in which Diana's voice in middle. I'm wondering if there is something weird in my system, so it would be nice to hear where is your Diana in your system?

I'm listening to the CD, and her voice is centered, but the piano occupies a lot of the right side.

She could also have been out drinking when you listened.  Digital is funny that way.

If your setup involves digital room correction you may have set that wrong somewhere.  Otherwise, time to try swapping interconnects.  Left to right as well as different pairs between your DAC and preamp.
