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?

I've had very nice digital set up, many different DAC's and disc players/transports and my moderate vinyl setups just blew them away. Deeper, more detailed, and fuller sound.

Then again, it could be just preference, and something that just sounds new and "different" after years of digital.
