You seem to miss the whole point.
Love it or hate it, a vinyl pressing can never deliver the sound that's on the master tape, be it analog or digital.
Your listening to a distorted version of that master, altered to make it acceptable to the antique mechanical process.
If your interested in High Fidelity, Vinyl hasn't been an acceptable media for the distribution of music for near 50 years.

I understand that point. It is not missed.
I’ve purchased music from HD. Tracks, I’ve listened to HD audio taken directly from their masters, and the gains in fidelity were disappointing when I compared them to my equivalent vinyl copies, if I’m honest. So I’m asking, whilst making my own point, which I’m all open to being shown and proven to be wrong over…
What album proves your point?
Which album noticeably takes full advantage of the extra fidelity gained through digital?
Im not talking numbers on paper, I’m talking real world examples. I use numbers on paper to help me purchase my hifi components. I’m switching it around. What RECORDINGS take advantage of all this modern reproduction?
Sure… we all have this extra headroom, but what music takes advantage of it. You must know. I need to hear it, then I’m there.
I listen to my music at reasonable volumes and at a reasonable seating position. I can’t hear all the surface noise of my vinyl. Sure, I could crank up the volume and stand next to the speaker to hear it, but I don’t listen to music like that. I don’t hear pops and clicks thanks to my filter. I have a non destructive rumble filter that I understand is still destructive to the sound, but I’ve not heard anything that it affects. I test my hearing and I can pass a blind test of up to 17khz, which is ok for my age. So I’m not going deaf.
Wow me dude. I completely agree with all your points made. Now.
Name that album.
