Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!

IMO: if you think vinyl is better, then you don't have a good dac. Once you get a very good dac, then you will need a great sounding expensive turntable to compete with digital and then I still prefer digital. 
There's much more to consider than just sq in these 2 formats: availability and longevity. Most of my jazz and blues groups didn't produce vinyl for any of their new music. As for aging: Let's play an album and a cd or ripped music each 100 times. Vinyl gets noisier after each play, digital does not.
