Reach higher volumes with ease when playing vinyl then CD? is it because of analog vs digital?

    It's probably the amount of gain.

    Digital puts more strain on an amp IMHO because the sound is more precise. Vinyl is a warmer and more natural sound and less stressful to an amp and to the ear....

    . . . and the gain set in the phono pre is probably high.
