In my opinion, the ultimate goal is to be able to enjoy both formats. I go on a weeks long vinyl listening spree and then switch back to digital. It takes me several hours to adapt to a completely different presentation. Both formats have pros and cons.
I would recommend getting your digital to the level where you really like and enjoy it. And then stop comparing it to analog.
I can tell you what I ended up with after years of experimenting. I now have a Meitner MA3i DAC and use its in-built streaming card as a Roon endpoint. I also use Qobuz and Tidal Connect options as well as JPLAY.
What I absolutely love about the Meitner DAC is that it sounds very natural, has great detail delivery without ever being in your face. It upconverts all incoming signal to DSD1024 using Meitner proprietary FPGA.
Add MA3i to your list if you’re looking for a very high quality digital playback.
