I have both. I use a Lynx Hilo to digitize and to playback. It does 24/192kHz. I can say without a doubt that the analogue version of a recording sounds just a little bit better than the digital version, on my system. You may get different results.
I went digital in the late 80s with DAT. A convenient format but only good at the time for 16/48kHz. It sounded pretty good with well recorded material. Then, 20 years later I decided I wanted to hear my records again. I went back to my Denon DP60L and Grace F-9e, using the phono stage of my C-J PV6. Wow, just with that setup there was an improvement. (I was using a Sony 75ES CD player.) Now I've invested in more high end equipment and with the Hilo find it still easier to listen to vinyl. It just sounds better.
Then you have the naysayers who say that records are too noisey with pops and crackle. A good US cleaning with the proper bath water, a good rinsing and vacuum dry. I can't tell it's not live.
