As long as the record is in good condition, I find the sound comperable. I've played the same song on a high bitrate digital audio file and on vinyl and I found both equally pleasing to listen to.
I have a Fluance RT80 turntable, and am using the built in preamp. It's connected to a home audio receiver (Sony STRDH590) with a 2.1 speaker setup (Polk Audio Monitor 60 Series II Floorstanding Speakers and a Polk Audio PSW10 10" Powered Subwoofer). A pretty midrange setup in others words. And I'm no audiophile, so weigh accordingly.
Edit: I realized you asked specifically about streaming. This link https://support.spotify.com/us/artists/article/audio-file-formats/ indicates that Spotify does up to OGG 320kbps/AC3 256kbps which is comparable to my personal audio library. So, statement holds.
