Hi.CD stereo used limited bandwidth of 44.1KHz as compared to 192KHz of DVD-audio stereo which blows CD away sonically, to say the least.
Old vinyls were all anlogue process from mics to mastering despite many contemporary LPs were pressed from digitally recorded masters.
That's why the old old goodie vinyls sound so musical & engaging. I own a quite hundreds of such old old timers which, IMO, beat those digitally mastered LP recordings bigtime in term of musical engagement & 'being-there'.
For multi-channel movie soundtracks, only digital format can handle all the multi-channel hi-rez sonic infos. Period.
So for analogue, I go vinyl stereo. For digital, I go DVD-audio stereo. I am still yet to be convinced multi-channel audio can replace any fine stereo recordings sonically.
