Rich, Louder sounds better.

Did you level match the sound from both computers when you did the comparison?

(Level matching is making sure that the perceived volume is the same from both sources. This is important to do when ever making comparisons on various settings during mixing. For example sometimes one might think a track sounds better after adding a certain amount of compression but it might only sound better because it's louder. And of course another way and sometimes better way to increase volume is to, well, raise the volume).
