@bigkidz gave one of the biggest factors. modest investment of both analog and digital and digital will most likely win. This was explained in a nice podcast via TMR Audio a couple months ago.
It is like everything in our world in that there are many factors and won't ever be black and white. I have more invested in analog vs digital and still find on newly released music that they are very close while the LP will still have a bit warmer mids and less harsh, but very close.
On older releases from the 70s-90s the LP usually wins without much competition.
It has been a bit of a psychological struggle for me where I was resistant to liking digital. I have invested so much in vinyl and it takes so much more effort that it didn't seem right to accept digital. Once I got over that nonsense I love it! It allows me to listen to music sooner and decide where I may want to invest in more vinyl. It also is much better when cooking or when I have friends over as I always feel weird interrupting someone every 15min....excuse me, gotta go flip the record. LOL
