Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming


I know this is an hot button for many, but here goes... I like vinyl and have many albums from the 60's, 70's and 80's.  I'm interested in some 80's and 90's albums - like U2, REM, Nirvana,  but I wonder if they will sound any better than streaming since they were probably recored digitally.

One of the topics that will never go away...

Hear an LP that is recorded/transferred on a nice setup, the file should sound identical to the LP.

Most of the Rock/Alt Rock from the 80/90's and beyond is digitally recorded. I would imagine the quality of the digital file/transfer(Digital to analog)  for the "stamper" used pressing the LP would come in the question?

What sounds "better" or more "convincing" then, is the playback rig and the final subjective call from the ears?
