   I didn't say whether it was "good enough" or not, simply what happens.   
   Personally I couldn't actually care less since I have zero interest in   
   music anyway.  :-)   
      
   For a CD, the sounds are downsampled to CD-quality from teh higher   
   quality studio digital recordings. Similarly with various streaming   
   qualities.   
      
   For vinyl, it will depend on how exactly the vinyl master is made, but   
   it still won't be a purely digital recording, even though the studio   
   source was. There will be minute changes and differences. Together,   
   that *could* mean some people hear (or more precisely *feel*) a   
   difference in quality.

   Multiverse theory says every peice of music exists in every format and   
   quality ... somewhere.  :-p

   Yes and no (and depends on who you ask). The human systems, including   
   the nervous system, are not really strictly analogue nor digital. They   
   are basically a mix of / somewhere between the two.
