Upgrade Suggestions please

I owned a Merason Reuss and it was very musical, but also on the warm side. I replaced it with a Bricasti and it added more life to the system. You might try another DAC to see if it opens things up a bit. Nothing against the Merason at all, it is a great unit, I had it coupled with warmer speakers and it was too much.

I don’t know how good the Eversolo is, there is likely room for improvement, but I would start with the DAC.

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. 

Nice system! I haven’t seen ESS speakers in a long time - I believe they’re the company that brought the AMT to market. I remember listening to their floorstanders in the 80s and loving them, but they were out of my budget back then.

I agree w/ @audphile1 . The goal should be to enjoy both formats. I’ve found my vinyl and digital rigs to have mostly converged - neither is better than the other, but they remain different though surprisingly close on some recordings.

While the digital units you have are well regarded in their price points, improvements can be made in both your DAC and streamer if you’re so motivated and have the budget. 

Can you tell us your budget and sonic goals and requirements? 

you need to get into the megabuck range to have analog and digital sound to truly converge

in mere mortal systems, they will sound different, though if you do it right, each will have its own appeal and be very enjoyable...

the op should be more descriptive of his perceived shortfalls of his digital sound versus his more favored analog sound

otherwise it is hard to be of any real help

^^^^^^^^ exactly if you don’t know where you are going any stream will get you there..
