Thanks
@amirm and the previous posters for the great suggestions and assessments.
I'll just throw in a couple of my test tracks, even if they might not clear the 14db DR mark, listen and judge for yourself.
Most of them might be Metal focused and some electronic/d'n'b but I've selected the few that have the highest fidelity and clarity, at least to my ears. (I'm a Metalhead, what can I do...)
Tengger Cavalry - Blood Sacrifice Shaman
Overall an incredible album, if you've never listened to Metal mixed with throat singing and mongolian influences you should really give this a try. The Intro "Soyombo" has very deep and full bass punches from what I imagine must be a giant drum, I still get goosebumps every time.
(The YouTube version is obiously not representative for quality/fidelity, the Spotify version however is decent)
Heilung - Futha, second track: Norupo
A great dark ambient soundscape with nice vocals to accompany that.
(The YouTube version seems okay-ish, the Spotify version however is decent)
Swallow The Sun - Songs from the North I, II & III, disc 2 track 5:
Songs from the North
Make sure to listen to the "Songs from the North I, II & III" collection for a higher DR compared to the single album versions.
Calming mood with some nice female and male vocals accompanied by a guitar and more.
(The YouTube version seems okay-ish, the Spotify version however is decent)
SuidAkrA - Book of Dowth, 4th track:
Biróg's Oath
Metal with folk/celtic while incorporating some traditional folk instruments. Great DR and variety with mostly "clean" vocals (in case you can't stand the usual screaming/growling variants from this genre).
(The YouTube version is obiously not representative for quality/fidelity, the Spotify version however is decent)
Dalriada - Napisten Hava, 5th track:
Napisten Hava
Another folk metal track with clean vocals, instrumental variety and some spatial qualities.

Dark Oath - When Fire Engulfs the Earth
With respect to fidelity and clarity an absolute gem in the Metal scene. I'm fond of the variety of instruments mixed into this album and different passages from track to track and the bridges within some of the tracks. Unfortunately you will "need to like" the vocals in this album. If you can't stand these, this is not for you.

Black Market Brass - Undying Thirst, second track:
N.B.T.
Some nice brass instruments with decent spatial qualities and DR. Just feel-good-music, if you know what I mean.
(The YouTube version seems okay-ish, the Spotify version however is decent)
James Blake - James Blake, disc 1 track 7:
Limit To Your Love
If you want to shake anything loose from the shelves, this is the track for it. It has some incredibly deep and powerful pulsating bass sequences, unlike anything I have heard before.
(The YouTube version has some video-related additional effects and is thus not representative, the Spotify version however is decent)
Perturbator - Dangerous Days, 4th track:
Future Club
The intro sequence lets you just float in bass.

Halogen - U Got That
Electronic D'n'B and packs quite the punch, nothing more to say I guess.

Daft Punk - TROM: Legacy
I don't think this needs many words, decent D'n'B album in an orchestral setting, unfortunately only sub-par DR. Notable mentions: Overture, The Game Has Changed, Outlands, Derezzed, Solar Sailer.

Maybe someone finds something interesting among these, please let me know what you think and I'd be thankful for further suggestions anytime!
Cheers.
