This is actually quite humorous OP.
So you spend 1/10th the budget that you used for your digital frontend and buy the cheapest shittiest analog components (self proclaimed in your post) and then make the blanket statement that Digital (that is converted to analog) is superior to analog. You did not even make an apples to apples comparison.
Don't get me wrong I have more invested in my digital front end than you and a very nice analog FE unit and Analog nips out my digital by a fender.
Your comparisons is like my daughter racing me in her 2020 Nissan Sentra and I am in my 1982 Buick Grand National.
I picked up an Audio Technica TT from Amazon for around $299. I then used one of the older integrated amps with a built-in phono, which I believe I paid around $500 a few years ago. And, finally, just to even out the playing field I bought the cheapest possible cables from alibaba. Since I didn’t have extra rack space to put the TT on, I got a couple of bricks and built a DIY platform for it.
So after listening to the analog setup for a few days, I can proclaim without a shadow of doubt that digital is far, far superior than vinyl on any given day, and twice a day on Sunday.
