It's got nothing to do with the format, other than music on vinyl is simply mastered better than digital, usually. There's some good sounding digital, but since the late 90s the emphasis has been on loud mastering with goosed bass and treble. Most of the time vinyl just sounds better because it doesn't have that wonky EQ with ear-bleedy digital clipping that digital has had since about 1998 or so.

Beware of the dreaded "REMASTERED" bullshit on CDs, too. Rarely, if ever, makes an improvement.
