Don't forget that we've never really had uncompressed music at a domestic level, unless of course you live in the Royal Albert hall and you have live orchestras playing for you...
CD's are heavily compressed, just at a finer grain than say, 128kbps - at 320kbps it get's harder to perceive. I've been told that even vinyl has a small freq. range but the peaks and troughs are just smoother, not stepped - hence the warmer, more inviting analogue sound.
