Anecdotally, I can confirm. I remember listening to a vinyl rip of Opeth's Blackwater Park because the CD version's dynamic range has been butchered enough that it more than made up for vinyl's technical inferiority. However, now that most people have moved to streaming services, I think that CDs may become the audiophile/hipster format of choice. They have the advantages of vinyl - being able to physically touch your collection and look at the cover art, generally no DRM, the nostalgia factor of using old technology - while also having near-perfect quality and not degrading with every listen.
