I think with the right files, and DAC, and low jitter interfaces, digital playback can hold its own vs Vinyl.

...because I have made high quality copies of LPs on CDs and then downloaded them to files. Listening to all 3 critically, the digital versions definitely do 'hold their own' versus the LP. The differences in the sound of the LP are subtle, but I preferred the LP sound in my nonscientific experiment.
By faaaaar the biggest contribution to an enjoyable musical experience in my home is the quality of the performance and the love that went into the recording. Unfortunately many LPs are pretty bad-sounding, same as CDs. In my testing, I used really good sounding LP's, which of course prejudiced the experiment.
Sure, it's possible to make some amazing transfers from LP to digital--not necessarily at CD resolution, though. Generally 96 kHz or better at 24 bits resolution will sound pretty much indistinguishable from the LP, as long as all the equipment involved and the recordist's technique are up to it.
