"we all agree"...i love grand generalizations...
Suffice I don't think vinyl sounds better than all digital today.
Take a 24/192 Reference Recording played back through a State of the Art design digital front end (MPS-5, D3, Scarlatti DAC) against an equivalent spec vinyl system and you are playing in personal preference land. You like the vinyl, me I like that digital.
So I glimpse diminuition or indeed (shock horror, omygawwd) close out of the gap between leading vinyl and digital.
Still the game is still biased - to my chagrin - to vinyl. I've a dozen recordings/albums that afford me a "vinyl equivalent" experience using digital. In contrast excellent vinyl numbers in the thousands (I'll bow to others judgement of whether its more)....
So me thinks its now a software advantage for vinyl more than a hardware one...YMMWV.......
