I think it has a lot to do with lower resolution Digital sounding better. Sure there are more dB available on a CD but as things get quieter the number of bits being used goes down. Hopefully, HD audio will quell some of this problem when and if it evr comes into prominence.
Another problem is radio. The louder a song is the more likely people will be forced to listen to it in their cars, work, etc. This way the inane hooks of today's jams will undoubtedly worm their way into your mind and you will have no choice but to legally download the album; or buy the CD if you are old school.
