Digital LP’s

Virtually all vinyl is now mastered from digital. My best sounding vinyl are these. It’s all about the bit rate of the mastering. If it’s redbook (16/44) it will sound no better than CD, which IMO is not very good.   Most albums are now mastered at much higher rates than that,

What is to be gained by putting a digital recording on vinyl?

I happen to have a lot of them, bought in the early 80’s before the advent of CDs.  Ironically, they were touted as an improvement!

Most modern recordings are made digitally, these days. They're just made at much higher resolutions and bitrates than what comes out on CD (16/44) and various other download formats.

Usually, the digital masters will use a resolution of at least 24-bit/96 kHz, sometimes going as high as 32-bit/192 kHz. At these resolutions the music will sound just as good (if not better) than a pure analogue source.  

To me, vinyl always sound better than CD and I think this is at least partially why.

I agree with what you say about the quality of today's digital recordings.  They are very good.  Pretty much all of the vinyl I own comes from the 50's, 60's, 70's, all analog chain.  

My question remains, why put these new digitally recorded pieces on a slab of vinyl?  I look forward to your thoughts.
