OH YES,
thae analog recorded to rbcd sounds VERY good but not the equal of analog LP. try playing the file and LP tune of the same file. you should be able to detect the superiority of the vinyl sound. more organic.

My gear is surely not **high end** enough for my comments to warrant consideration, instead I'll just go listen to some music. But long ago, in a Bearcave far away, I did convince myself that very careful transcriptions from vinyl rekkids to shinydiscs sound very close to the vinyl, close enough to actually fool me in my own A/B/IForgot testing. (I literally couldn't remember which was the source when walked back into the room.) The difference was the thin layer of dust on top of the 1% of the 1%.
I found, coincidentally, that for best quality the playback had to be through the same electronic chain as the recording. My notes say "Stay on the same circuit board." (I was using a fine professional digital disc recorder.)
I voted with my tonearm, however, and still listen to vinyl as I have since roughly 1964. Why? Because I'm massively anally obsessed with a relentless drive for sonic purity? WELL OF COURSE, that and I own about 3,000 records of music I really like, and playing records is FUN and (almost) always sounds TASTY ("organic" is the right word but only for organ music)!
It's much the same as in 1915, as I recall, when Tommy Edison was promoting his Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph by staging wacky demonstrations known as "tone tests." These were public demonstrations in theaters where a singer would appear onstage, side by side with a phonograph playing a recording of their voice. Members of the audience were then asked to see if they could tell the difference between the recording played on the Diamond Disc Phonograph. REMARKABLE! These early audiophiles couldn't tell the difference either. For my sake, it didn't matter whether it was that incredible HiFi or the singer, I used to go to these just to hear the free music. Sometimes they had sandwiches...
Redbook CD? Who said anything about that?
I agree that 16/44 PCM recordings don't do it.
