The practical difference between CA and fringing is unclear too me. When
looking at a photo I'm not able to distinguish between the two. So far I've
been happy being an ignorant ;-)

I've seen many reports indicating that Ca is worse with DSRL. Therefore I
have assumed that it also depends on the technique involved in the
digitalisation. Am I wrong about that?

CA should be independent of image contrast as it's a function of the
lens. In essence CA occurs because the colours are split due to
slightly differing magnification ratios across the colour spectrum. CA
may exacerbate purple fringing (bloom) caused by high contrast and
over-saturation of the sensor  but they are essentially independent
issues.
