I have quite a few digital and vinyl versions of the same song. When I
happen to check (rarely) I find the vinyl rip is preferable.

By that point the 'vinyl rip' is also 'digital'.

I can tell which is which by the metadata, and of course, on closer
listening background noise.

It's more obvious with playlist or random genre selection - a track will
stand out as better sounding. And it'll be, more often than not, a
vinyl rip.

I realise of course this isn't the last word in scientific rigour. Still
surprises me though.

It doesn't surprise me, for the reasons I've already given.

Slainte,
