I have equivalent systems Spectral cdp (and a BelCanto PL1) vs VPI HRX rim drive with Lyra Atlas as my main cartridge. Vinyl almost always sounds more natural and real than digital. But cds, sacds and dacs have improved greatly over the last 15 years and on rare occasions, if it's digitally recorded (and what's not these days), the digital version will sound slightly better. As most of my favorite music is on vinyl, I will be a vinyl fan until the end.
CDs Vs LPs
Just wondering how many prefer CDs over LPs or LPs over CDs for the best sound quality. Assuming that both turntable and CDP are same high end quality.
