DB sounds to me like thee recording device was off to the right. HF was more present on right. Weird very small delay on the left channel (closer to phase shift) on my headphones. Also had frequeency dips so suggesting cancellatiion. Kb didn't have the delay and sounded more balanced so I'm guessing recorded more from the center. Mic input stressed with Kb. Device could also have been lower and pointed somewhere at the midbass. Thought for a sec it might have been recorded from a nearer position but the former more likely. Not sure at all.

Kb has Ked making comments. I think that is the most obvious LOL

So what is this about?

The first one (DB) is everything that's wrong with digital. It's fragile, the piano sounds glassy, no weight in the bass, is homogenized and congested and lacks resolution, that fake air is, fake.

The 2nd one (kb) is also very digital sounding but at least it's not thinned out like the other one and isn't shouting at you but neither one is any great shakes.
