A well set up vinyl system has euphonic distortions that are pleasant to the human ear. There is no conceivable scenario where vinyl has less distortions than hi res digital. That said, digital for this very reason may sound ‘harsher’ and less pleasant.
@audphile rightly points out significant differences in versions of the same recording as a result from different mastering techniques and sound engineers. That however doesn’t usually compensate for the difference in euphonic distortion.
