Opinions are not the problem, problem is judgements posed as an objective truth. Vast majority of us who have both digital and analog setups may not have optimized one to same extent as other, this colors our opinion. One should state as such, in my case digital superior to vinyl, I've never suggested digital objectively superior to vinyl. Fact is best audio system SQ I've heard has been vinyl sourced, I've also never suggested vinyl objectively superior to digital.
The character of analog and digital
Having just obtained some high quality analogue components, I want make some comments on the character of both analog and digital.
First of all it’s very difficult to speak of analog in general. Records vary widely (indeed wildly) in sonic character and quality. Digital recordings are much more uniform. When you play a digital file you more or less know what your getting. Of course some sound better than others, but there is a consistency of character. With records, it’s the Wild West. Variation in SQ and character are rampant.
Therefore it becomes very difficult to make generalizations on which categorically sounds better.
