Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?

The answer is yes. Any CD player or a one box dac with streaming card features digital to analog conversion and an analog output stage. Given the right components and source material you will rival your analog setup. 

We need to realize that each format can offer top notch sound quality with streaming giving you all the music in the world, well almost, at your fingertips and given the right source material we can enjoy both digital and analog for what they have to offer. Neither is perfect. Both are more than competent in delivering world class listening experience. 

Agree with audphile1.  Both digital and analog can produce very involving sound.  I know that my digital set-up is very involving.  Yours may not be, but you can probably fix that if you want to.

Excellent question and I think my analog and digital are pretty close to me.  And this is very dependent on the music and recording.  An excellent analog recording sounds awesome and so does an excellent digital file.

I listen mostly to digital for convenience.

I use Meitner MA3i that has a network card that can be used with Qobuz and Tidal connect, as Roon endpoint and as Jplay renderer. It has inputs for a CD transport. It doesn’t cost as much as a dCS Bartok Apex but it’s very musical and delivers all the details in a very natural way. If you are looking for a good digital source, this DAC will replace your streamer, your CD player and will be very close if not on par with your analog. These come up used once in a while and I highly recommend it. 

What sounds better is a matter of opinion. You have to decide for yourself. That said, if I was in your position, I would be looking at the analog stage of a player or dac. For example, I like Ayre for solid state, The analog stage in an Ayre CD player or DAC will have a similar sound as their other components. Analog stage, power supply and digital stage, in that order. Most audiophiles focus on the digital stage/chip. For what you're asking of the components, the analog stage is how you're going to get there. But that's just my opinion. Use our recommendations as a guide, but the final choice has to be yours.

If you live in the US, give The Cable Company a call. Have them send you a few demos so you can try them in your system before you make a purchase decision. It takes most of the risk out of the equation.
