Analog vs Digital


Looking for input from those who have been through the turntable days to today. Is there anyone out there that has found a digital set up that can hold a candle to a analog set up at similar price points? My two analog rigs have torn apart every digital gear ive owned.

I also have a Parasound cbt2000 transport with a Harmonic Tech digital cable, AA DTI Pro, Music Metre Fidelus, Bel Canto Dac 1 and Harmonic Tech Truth link i/c. My analog rig is an Oracle Delphi Mk II, Syrinx Arm, and Sumiko Blue Point cartridge. I have owned several Koetsu Blacks and Rosewood, Dyavector Rubies, Grados, etc. over the years. I have also owned Kenwood Kd500, Systemdek, Rega and Sonograph tables. Which is better? My turntable is for sale. I haven't listed it yet will do so in the next few weeks. I have roughly $3000 invested in the above mentioned digital rig. You would have to spend much more on an analog setup to better it and you would still have to contend with the fact that very few analog records are still being produced. I believe there are digital front ends which are even better than what I have.
Correction, there are digital front ends which are much better than what I have, such as Theta Gen V, DCS, Levinson, etc.
