Yes. (I say as someone who mainly listens to vinyl, because I own it.)

Intrinsic limitations of the medium mean that it's more or less impossible to get a signal to noise ratio of more than 75 dB, channel crosstalk under -45 dB, or THD+N under 0.1%, or a frequency response of about 30 Hz to 13 kHz plus or minus 1 dB

Even a mediocre CD player will do 80 dB, -70 dB, 0.01%, and 20 Hz - 20 kHz plus or minus 0.5 dB respectively. Most of them are better than those numbers.

And once you get to or above 192 kSa/s MP3, let alone more modern CODECs, you can do better still.

Can you hear the difference? Absolutely. Many people prefer vinyl because it sounds "warmer", or because the hiss and crackle bring on (movie-induced?) nostalgia for their childhoods.
