At lower frequencies MP3 is basically perfect and doesn't decay as the volume gets lower.

The reduced singal to noise ratio for CDs at low amplitudes isn't necessarily any worse than the SNR for vinyl at the same amplitude - the level of CD quantisation noise isn't necessarily any higher than the analogue noise that comes from vinyl.
