Not sure what you mean by digital sounding digital as it is a transparent way to record, store and playback music. Most of my vinyl collection has been digitised and they sound identical to the record being played back on the same stereo with the same donor turntable.
Pre-ringing is another figment of the digiphobe's imagination, just like jitter. I can understand the love of vinyl records, I like records too but what amazes me with some of the more evangelist vinylphiles is that they have such super sensitive hearing to be able to hear inaudible levels of pre ringing, supersonic artifacts, jitter and so on yet seem unable to hear audible levels of wow and flutter, non-linear frequency responses, phase shifts, inner groove distortion and so on. The other misconception is comparing analog with digital rather than format or equipment. I mean analog can sound great, but objectively, vinyl is inferior to analog tape. Are two cans connected with a tight piece of string high fidelity? After all, it is a purer form of analog than convering the acoustic energy to electrical or mechanical energy.
