In theory, high-resolution digital is supposedly the ultimate audiophile medium, be it SACD, DVDA, or whatever. But in reality, the playback is so unpleasant (I think due to excessive RFI generation), that not only is vinyl still preferred amongst audiophiles, but I personally prefer Redbook CD over high-res as well. I find the slight audible loss in resolution in CD playback a far lesser evil than the fatigue that I've always experienced with high-res playback.And as I stated in the past, unless the RFI problem is addressed and solved in digital audio, high-resolution playback will continue to be the great idea that somehow couldn't fly.
