It's just do you care about the difference in sound. Dynamic range is the top priority when listening to quality digital sound.
Surface noise by vinyl is not there in digital.
There are other reasons why you can hear the difference in sound -
Is vinyl better? No and yes but really no. There is a concern with digital being spliced differently and the sound wave can
is affected but that's not exactly true
The listener of vinyl becomes accustomed to the sound his album produces and as the album becomes less and less
perfect via friction causing the recording to break down after each passage of the stylus his ear becomes accustomed to
that sound - therefore that's the sound he misses when hearing the digital recording of same album.
Now some digital sound is not good or of good quality.
So, the answer to your statement is, yes, everyone can hear the difference in sound quality - it's a preference but there
is a discernable difference in the two.
