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.

I actually am keeping both formats.  I love the convenience of streaming though and its allowed me to sample albums I may not have listened to otherwise.  I've found soome I really like from the nineties but I just didn't know if it made sense to buy it since it was recorded digitally. 

I'm still considering the hifi Rose rs150, but it seems from the posts above that I may not get the sound I'm seeking unless I go to the 10k range.  And many posts have said I need a better DAC while others have said I just need a better streamer.  So I'm still researing and trying to understand the gear.

If you don't mind paying the premium that new vinyl - digitally sourced or not - costs, then go for it! I've no problem with the sound but it's a poor value proposition when the digital counterpart is cheaper and should be just as well. I get that some still have a preference for vinyl regardless and that's cool. 

I'd tend to think those earlier 80's albums were still analog. Not sure about the 90's and later though. Finding out the source is not that easy either :-(
