@willemj -- The problem we still have with digital media is access to good source material; Chromecast Audio may be capable of streaming 24 bit, 96Khz files, but if the music on your device is Redbook quality (16 bit, 44Khz) or less, you are not going to hear the detail that you find in vinyl recordings.
Moreover, analog equipment does not have to be expensive to appreciate this difference. I recently found a fairly good quality used turntable for $150 on Craigslist, paired it with a $120 Nagaoka 110 cartridge, and the sound is noticeably better than I get from my CDs on a $1300 Cambridge CXU. This is not a knock on the CXU; it is a good unit, with a solid transport and decent DAC, but it cannot create detail that isn’t there in a 16/44 format. Yes, you can get up to 24/96 resolution with a subscription to Tidal Masters (for $30/mo), but their library of HiDef material is very thin. Until we have dependable access to a comprehensive library of Hi-Res digital recordings, I will be very happy to hold onto my vinyl.
