I think there's another factor, Mike. I listen primarily to classical and have transitioned completely from vinyl to CD. All popular works have been recorded multiple times. Some offer the technically and emotionally best performances but with early, sub-optimal recording, so they are best enjoyed with an anolog sound. An uber-resolving digital version will highlight the inferior sonics at the expense of the performance itself. Alternatively, a well-recorded performance can better place one in the concert hall, center loge seating, with a highly resolving digital version that an analog version would fail to convey.
I don't think it's old school / new school as I believe you are suggesting. I think it's dependent upon the quality of the source. Personally, I'd welcome a spinner with an 'anolog / digital' or maybe 'warm / detailed' switch, though I suppose that would require dual DACs and boards.
I think genre matters, too. With classical and acoustic jazz, the paradigm for faithful and accurate should be easy -- what sounds most like what one hears when in a concert hall. With rock and other electronically amplified performances -- what is the paradigm? I haven't been to a live amplified concert in years, but I know that that sound is not what I want reproduced in my listening room at home. And who's to say what a studio recording 'should' sound like? With multiple remasterings of some of the classics, even the artists and producers don't seem to be able to agree.
