Many vinyl recordings are free of any distortion or unwanted noise, provided that one has a state of the art vinyl setup. I have never heard a comparison between the same master in vinyl and CD where the vinyl did not trounce the CD, despite having a state of the art CD player for the comparison.
On the other hand, I know from first hand experience that the CD format is incapable of reproducing the sound that is captured on a good cassette tape. This can be done with 176/24 digital completely transparently, but this is not possible at 44/16, despite using state of the art converters.
The problem is the obsolete CD format, not digital.
