It seems that a lot of the time people are lacking awareness of the headroom that traditional analog devices have. In comparison most people are mixing to 0db in daws but digital mixers will still have headroom of something like -18db. I've found that digital sources fed into an amp that push to around 0db a lot of the time can end up distorting a bit.
And tape used to largely have meters that gave you appropriate headroom indications. I'm not sure how I used to cope with volume levelling on my tapes.
