CD ad digital are definitely better medium.
Mastering matters, and generally new "remasters" are usually flat, without dynamic range.
Same recording/albums often have different remasters like old, original hi-quality EMI masters, made under Freddie Mercury supervision vs Sony crap[they needed to make their own masters, because previous is owned by EMI]
The worst shit is usually what ends as music videos(mixed for crappy TV speakers) , and mixtapes ("Best Of...") [there's strong "Loudness War" in action in 99% of mixtapes[ Always buy/download original albums(and search for good masters of them)]
If you don't know what
