It's depends on what the speaker is for me. Coming out of the car speakers, probably not. Coming out of good headphones, yes most definitely.
I have tested it and the highest quality mp3 sounds much more like a cd and low quality sounds like a radio station broadcast
Neither compare to a vinyl on a good system. It's like the difference of seeing a picture vs being in the presence of a great view
Vinyl records only really sound good because they tend to use more dynamic masters for them. I wish we could have good masters on CD as well.
thats utter nonsense
As I said the quality of the master is the most important. I have a CD from 1985, the SACD, and an original Stereo LP. I can't decide if I prefer the early CD press or the original LP. Both are similar in dynamics. I haven't heard a remaster of it I liked. Most modern remasters suck imo.
Edit: If you want to hear digital audio at it's best get yourself an original CD copy of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. One of the best sounding and most dynamic ecordings i've ever heard. It destroys the LP.
