Yep, some of them are so good they come up to level about 5% of that
of a cheap CD player.
About as good as a 64kbps mp3 file, then? 
Only if you add wow, flutter, rumble, tics, pops, distortion etc. to that
MP3 file. Once did that to a 128kbs MP3 to see how many people preferred
it to the CD it was taken from (without telling them what I was playing of

Izotope´s old "Vinyl" plug-in is still around and has even been "renewed"
somehow some years ago... so, there´s also a bit of "vintage digital" for
those, who are mainly after "vintage" whatever...
