Ironically I did better (5/6) at work with hifiman RE600 out of realtek laptop headphone jack vs home with LCD-3F though Yggdrasil/Ragnarok.

Weird. I got my 6/6 on a first listen also out of a realtek headphone jack but to the HD600. Just what I had in the office at the time...

This is also what I found with the LCD-3F's, and exactly why I am ditching mine for HD-800's. This is all part of that whole resolution thing, and a huge deal breaker for me.
uh did you try other headphones

good DACs tend to clean up compression artifacts considerably IME

He probably has a lot of stuff created using old encoders.  MP3 has been around since ~1994 and the original encoders are absolutely awful in comparison to today.

IMO the current top AAC/MP3 encoders (Apple AAC/LAME etc...) have only gotten half decent at 128Kbps over the past few years.

That would explain it. Pretty sure these are on the older side, since he's had it for close to 8 to 10 years. And got them from someone else. So they could be 90's era.  He's transferred the files several times to newer HD's as well.
Which shouldn't make a difference if done correctly.
