This is negated by the poor S/N ratio though.
Analogue rounds off it's inability to capture a sound and digital does not "round" numbers, but represents them through errors very very high in the frequency range.
Analogue will not be able to beat digital in any respect once those errors only appear in the 80-96Khz range.
If one wants to argue that sampling is the problem, they won't get that far in my opinion because tape and vinyl have their own limitations that are analogous and perform worse compared to 44.1Khz digital.
Analog rounds off numbers and presents errors as mucicially as possible and digital does not, even though it is far far more accurate.
Just my 2 cents.
