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

@mapik

Well great sounding vinyl isn't dirt cheap. But in most cases these days the equivalent digital is roughly equivalent in cost to analog... but you have to choose the correct house sound. So it is there... and then the drain in your buying vinyl goes away.

I don't know if you were asking me about speakers. If you were, I have Sonus Faber Olympica Nova V speakers. These aren't your father's Sonus Fabers, though, that had a romantic tweeter that was never harsh. My speakers are very transparent. I hear everything, and they capture what is good about vinyl on good recordings. I will see how they do with a much better streamer.

One of the digs about the Meitner MA3 is that it does not have strong bass. I'll see how they sound on my system which has three 7" woofers and gets bass pretty right. I can't have solid bass when my wife is here. When she goes out I play things like Pharoah Sanders and Flora Purim. Both sound good loud. 

@ghdprentice  Oh I know the choicest vinyl pressings are never going to be dirt cheap. They just keep going up. Finding them for "less" is part of the enjoyment for me. I was referring to waiting for digital tech to catch up to analog and for it to be dirt cheap. Chinese Streamers and DACs are getting better and better and cheaper. It won't be long now where we will be able to have streaming music sounding as good as vinyl. But we aren't there yet. 

@maprik I think the technology is already at the right level. Networking is very robust. DACs are extremely good. Streamers are overpriced for what they do but good ones can be had for a reasonable amount of money. 
Biggest problem is the source material. Original CDs and vinyl records from 30 years ago sound better than the remastered streaming versions of the same album. The original vinyl records can be outrageously expensive in mint condition but the new AAA reissues are way more reasonable and sound as good or better in most cases. Plus vinyl sounds different than digital to begin with. The sound is more natural and has less of a “processed” vibe to it than streaming. But then again it also depends on your level of digital components vs your vinyl setup. 
New digital recordings can be extremely good. And buying these on vinyl would make no sense. So yeah there are really no absolutes here. 
 

Agreed, there are no absolutes. Digital CAN sound incredible but as good as vinyl is going to be a very subjective call. I have yet to hear it but I accept that I haven't heard ultra $$$$ systems. I guess I'm talking about being able to get "analog sound" from a digital source (and not for $20k). My analog rig is very modest and yet still amazing. I've spent 2x on my digital side and I'm still not there yet. Which is kinda why Ive stopped chasing that goal of finding the analog experience through my digital side.
