First of all, the claim that digital has "wide dynamic range" is not technically factual. Digital has only 3 dynamic reference points (sample points), representing the minimum, average and maximum.Because of this, it limit's its actual range and scale, and noise-shaping schemes do little to improve upon it.
Given the above, one can easily see how compression is detrimental in the digital domain.
