Sure but how often is one going to go through the hassle of a vinyl listening session? I say 2-4 LPs a day 2 or 3 days a week is quite a bit of effort. When enjoying a GUI interface 2-4 albums everyday 5 or 6 times a week or more is an easy and comfortable reality.
What comes out of my speakers is a translation of what is encoded on physical media or contained in a digital file. The only evidence of where that translation is coming from as I hear it is in my ability to recognize the character of the system unraveling the music from it's packaging and/or difference in what is packaged and how well it has been packaged. IMO the physical media itself does not have a sound or character of it's own.
I have more money in my TT (not including arm, cart, cables and phono section) than I have in my whole digital system that includes a CDP, a streamer, cables, DAC and a hard drive. I have a great vinyl system but I consider the digital system on the same quality tier as the vinyl system. I can and do enjoy listening to LPs, CDs, internet stream and locally served flac file. Sometimes LPs sound best and sometimes digital sounds best. Lot's of LP don't reach the same level of quality as the digital version and it's got nothing to do with the physical media or the playback system.
If the LP sounds better than the CD the digital LP rip will sound better than the CD. If the LP sounds better than the stream the digital LP rip will sound better than the stream. The converse of this is true also (I admit it's likely that my analog to digital conversion could split the difference but I haven't run into that yet).
And the fact that the LP system is capable of sounding the best isn't evidence of the superiority of vinyl it's an indicator I could get better results from digital by improving my digital system.
