Vinyl vs. Hi Resolution Computer Audio

Has anyone ever witnessed a competition between a really nice vinyl set up and a high resolution Computer Audio set up?

Something like the HDCD Reference Recordings using digital masters, Lynx sound card, and a nice DAC (Berkley Aplha DAC?) vs a classic Linn Sondek or a similar high end turntable set up? Which set up would you rather have if it was going to be delivered to your house tomorrow? Vinyl or computer?

yep, Khsu is correct. source is key. If you copy LPs into digital at 24 176.4 its tough to tell which is which.

There are a greater number of hi res downloads that are available, so time will tell how hi res digital pans out.

hi end LP play back is still tough to beat.
