Can you explain why the cd would lose to the vinyl?

That doesn't really make any sense. And the signal coming out of D/A-converter is also 100% analog.

3. Vinyl has a "warmth" that is missing in digital. I can't really can't define warmth, but it is a obvious difference that I hear.
4. It is the same difference between using tube amps vs. solid state, you lose something when you take those little lit-up, heat producing tubes out of the equation.

In both cases it's not really a case of losing or missing something. The warmth (harmonic distortion) is actually
added by vinyl and tube amps.
