More wheels than sense
Digital recording studio equipment has improved immensely over the years, the bit rate has moved from the early 16bit to 64bit. This has improved the sound enormously, even compared to the best old style analogue studio tape.

Nearly all new recordings released on vinyl are rendered using music recorded using digital equipment, I doubt if any new recordings on vinyl sound better than a 64bit or even a 32bit uncompressed sound file.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the dreadful standard CD quality or over compressed sound files, in my opinion a decent hi resolution sound file will have more clarity and dynamics than the vinyl equivalent.

If you have listened to a decent studio quality 32bit or 64bit sound file, you will know the difference I'm hearing.

I've not heard any 32 bit stuff but I love the detail in the quiet passages of a 24/96 recording.
