A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..

Exhibit A - digitally remastered cassettes. The best of both worlds? High dynamic range and low noise without all the digitalis produced by the digital playback system. The digitally remastered cassette demonstrates that it’s not (rpt not) necessarily the digital medium per se that’s the problem, but the CD playback system. Tape is a natural medium. It breathes.

Well, I really liked recording to DCC because it sounded so much better than CDs.  I think it is a lot closer to analog sound than most digital solid state device recordings (computer, recording devices).  My own DCC recordings sounded similar to my Tandberg RR recordings at 7 1/2 ips. 

It literally doesn't matter.  As in, it cannot matter less.  Why do cinephiles make a huge deal out of seeing a movie that was shot on film projected from the 70mm print??... because they love the way it looks.  It's romance.  A 1972 Porsche 911 is a fraction as fast as a new Subaru but even car guys have enough sense to know that it's a waste of time to debate those merits.  That's why they have different forums.
Save it.

Seconded.  If ever there was a pointless debate/schism, then this is it.
If you don't like one or the other, don't listen to it.  If someone else likes what you don't like, how exactly is that an issue you need to concern yourself with?
As for what's best: anybody who has progressed beyond play school ought to know that where human preference is concerned there's no such thing as "best".

Y’all need to listen to Peter’s (Soundsmith) latest talk at 2018 RMAF. He says even analog is digital and it appears to be true. Regardless,I love vinyl. Makes me all warm and fuzzy
