They do sound different. Digital sounds more compressed to me. Some times it’s a good thing, like a snare drum snapping. Mostly it’s annoying.
I also tend to enjoy the greater stereo separation on the vinyl.
Dacs, phono preamps, cartridges and so many other aspects can affect sound on either format.

Digital has greater dynamic range than vinyl and is therefore LESS compressed. And digital has better stereo separation than vinyl.

You are joking, right?
