Your impressions are valid. There is nothing wrong with your hearing from what I can tell.
The clicks or pops you hear are fairly common with vinyl records.
CDs don’t have this problem.
A CD is 100% bit for bit accurate data being read by a process called land and pit (grooves made by a laser) on the CD to be read as 0s and 1s.
Happy listening. Digital audio (CDs and DSD) are the best if you want an accurate rendition of the actual recording. (what was achieved in the studio with said track)
