I wouldn't bet on that one. I would have to try it and see.

No  no no. Digitizing, limits the frequency range to rid us of surface 
noise. Good riddance. What you think you are missing is MASTERING and 
the RIAA curve applied to all Phonograph records to make up for their 
mechanical limitations. In other words it pumped the bass and low mids 
with the phono preamp because if you really printed that stuff the 
needle would jump out of the groove. A good preamp or EQ can bring the 
life back.
any highs over 20k would have to be addressed as "air" or 
psychoacoustic phenomena and actually can be dismissed. 48k brings back 
some "air".
