Vinyl is optimum only if they are completely dust-free, and if
the needle is replaced every 200-300 hrs of play. Without
that, over time, the sound becomes more muddled or cloudy (not
to mention damaging to the vinyl) - perhaps that is what some
people perceive as "softer".
Many early manufactured CD players were terrible, and produced
a harsh "edgy" sound. Over time, that contributed to what some
people reported as "listening fatigue". I experienced the
same. I had thought that I had purchased a fine player. The
sound was super clean and clear, but over time there was
something about the sound that wasn't confortable to the ears.
Later, I got a new player with a better D/A converter
technology, and the difference was significant.
