Ah, okay.  That was my first sentence: "With all due respect, vinyl rips are for specific albums where there are no good digital rips. "

Yes. Sadly, it seems that almost ALL modern, non classical albums have significant differences in dynamic range between vinyl and non-vinyl. It is really disappointing, but still the current norm.

I have no doubt that you indeed just imagined two long posts about not sure what .. and you did that on a *measurements* thread!  And I also imagine that your speakers sound much improved with a Dac than with a bag of carrots.
The only question I have is why are you writing this stuff?
 
P.S.
Did anyone do some serious tests/measurements or this whole thread is about who can imagine better?

Welcome to Changstar! A place where your imagination can run wild, just like when you were a kid, and stuff like that! A place where shitty comments meant to invalidate someone's stated preferences and appealing to the sanctity of measurements will likely get you pilloried! I recommend you read more of the site before firing off critical observations. Yes, this thread is within the "measurements" sub forum, but I think you will find thenearly all conversations here invariably include subjective impressions as well. Best luck.
