Restatement of a post above:
It all depends on the recording and mastering done by the sound engineers.
Sometimes vinyl's preferable despite the snap, crackle & pop because the compression effs up the CD so much.
Sometimes the CD, SACD or HiRes online track is well recorded -- if so, it will not have the snap, crackle, and pop of vinyl, not will it wear out when you play it a lot.
