Occasionally that's true, very often it's not. Looking at your second link, there's only one album that has been substantively remastered. (And that better mastering could have been distributed on CD or through iTunes, presumably they just didn't bother to do so.)

Today if you want dynamic range you have to buy Vinyl or lossless downloads.

No, it still depends how it was mastered. You can have crap sounding vinyl and lossless, too.
yes you are right you can have very crappy sounding vinyl, your best bet is vinyl but you always do your research.
Unfortunately SACD is dead and even on SACD the CD tracks can be a diferent mastering and very diferent from the SACD track.
