Well, it depends on your components. “ Digital done correctly is superior to analog in every way“… it depends on your investment level. At the low end and very high end vinyl tends to out shine digital. This will change. So, I kind of agree that digital done right at certain investment levels is superior to analog. At my investment level $45K for each leg the sound quality is the same… although there is much more variability with vinyl… I think because of the variation in pressing (early in the short life of a master or late).
…”streaming is definitely NOT the right way to do it”… There is no fundamental difference between the potential sound quality from a CD, stored files and streaming. It is just packaging differences in the playback equipment. The cd player has a transport, streamer, and DAC. Streaming simply has the files remotely located. It depends on your equipment as to which if any sound better.
On my system red book CDs of the same mastering sound exactly the same as streamed, or local file. High resolution streaming sound better than red book resolution via any source. It is equipment dependent.
As digital continues to advance it is getting the edge on vinyl over more investment levels… just as the disadvantages of vinyl, CD, and SACD are becoming overwhelming.
