She sounds like a modern Jazz singer to me. I had a few of her SACDs, nothing special musically or sonically. Maybe you are thinking of Patricia Barber's SACDs on Mobile Fidelity. I do like her recordings and they sound very nice as well.
But I don't like Dianna Krall musically or sonically. So I am extremely confused by your statement that audiophiles listen to her for the sound quality as the sound quality is only fair at best.
Real audiophiles listen to great jazz and classical on 180 Gram LPs and SACDs. It cannot be audiophiles listening to her for the sound quality. Based on the recordings of Dianna Krall I've heard you would actually have to like her singing to be able to listen to her.
Also I do not believe that audiophiles exist that listen only to sound quality and not to the music, I believe this is a false assumption. Audiophiles foremost love music but they want the best sound available. So in short you owe audiophiles an apology buy grouping them with Dianna Krall lovers, these are entirely two different groups of people!
Just my experiences and opinions, yours may be different,
