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

To my ears, a well mastered, clean vinyl outperforms digital streams
 

I agree with this. The most important factor is the mastering. What Qobuz and Tidal have available for you to stream is mostly digital remasters. Even high resolution 24/192 of some jazz classics is remastered bit padded stuff. Compared to original mint vinyl or new AAA vinyl done by someone like Kevin Gray or Bernie Grundman or Scott Hull the streaming version will mot be as good. 
From technical standpoint good digital components lack nothing in their ability to reproduce the recording as accurately as possible. 
So the approach I take is try to get the best possible version of a recording I like. If it happens to be on streaming, then that’s what it is. If I look for some of jazz classics or classical music or classic rock, I’ll hunt down the full analog version. 

My TT is a Well Tempered Verselex with a Shelter 501mk3 cart and a Line Magnetic LP-33...  this sounded very nice to my ear, but I got digitally curious and tried out a Bluesound Node.  Sure enough digital (Qobuz) was cool and convenient, but the SQ wasn't very close to the analog side.  I went down the rabbit  hole on digital and ended up with a Lumin X1...  The X1 put my TT to bed for the last year+ based on musicality and transparency...  delightful, very analog sounding product and very engaging.  

I recently got a bug to get the vinyl side back in the game.  With some help from Chat I decided to start with a phono stage change.  A few weeks ago I acquired a Sutherland 20/20 (from a member) and have been integrating it into my system with setup and cabling changes.  I've just gotten back to the point where the vinyl is on par with the X1 and both are very engaging...  vinyl is maybe a little more lively sounding, but it's very subtle.

Now of course there's the X2...  and the game (obsession) continues.  There's always a path to better SQ and you can definitely get digital to sound as engaging as vinyl.  What happens when you get there is up to you.

I am very encouraged by this thread. Thanks for the question. I have lurked on these forums for decades, not having the resources to join in the conversation.

It seems to me the one thing changing the most over those years is the improvement of digital equipment and content.

I have several hundred NM vinyl albums I picked up in my youth that sound great. Against a million digital songs, however, how can that library ever be as "involving"? I get that OP's involving was referring to equipment, but another critical consideration, imo, is the source material (as some have stated).

A recent example came when listening to Fragile by Yes. When I compared the 2025 remaster on Spotify lossless to my OG vinyl, it was as if Jon Anderson was not even in the room on the vinyl. I'll never play that record again and it makes no sense for me to spend my grandchildren's money building (rebuilding) a vinyl library. So, I have chosen to fund the equipment supporting  the ever improving digital channel. In the end, I find digital very involving on both the equipment and content levels. I also think it has no limit ahead. Look how far it has come.

To be fair, an easy choice where I don't have the investment in the analog.

Enjoy the music!

I've borrowed plenty of cables from the Cable Co., but DACs? They don't carry that many (certainly not Ayre). The only DAC my contact there has mentioned I could demo is the T+A.  Which DACs have you auditioned from them? 

yes, took a while to get there... but it is there
