Analog vs Digital Confusion

Thinking about adding Analog to my system, specifically a Turntable, budget is about 5K but I'm having some second thoughts and I'm hoping someone can help, specifically, how can the record sound better? Scenario; an album is released in both CD and Record, the recording is DDD mixed, mastered, etc in the digital domain. It seems to me that to make the master record the process would involve taking the digital recoding and adding an additional D/A process to cut the record? So, bottom line, how can the record sound better than the CD played on compitent CDP?

If you have $5k to blow give analog a try. If nothing else, it will increase your audiophile credibility.
If you do go analog please revisit this thread in a couple years and give us an honest assessment. BTW, I am another who grew up with vinyl. Although I still own a couple hundred lps, I listen exclusively to digital via Mac Mini or cdp.
