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

@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. 

My DAC, yes, but my eversolo A8 streamer is probably mid-tier.  The BAT Rex 3 DAC is an end-game, reference-level  component.  Im searching for my end game streamer.  

Turntable is a Feickert with a HANA that feeds a modified BAT vk-p5 with superpak.  It's very sweet, but certainly not reference level.  

Yeah, see I will never be able to afford a BAT Rex 3. I need that level of SQ to be available at around $2K LOL.

At this point, I am not looking for digital to sound like analogue. I would simply want it to be as "involving." In my long life as an audiophile I have had rigs that we would now laugh at (under $1000) that involved me totally. I know there are a lot of variables in that statement, but involvment does not take a lot of money. A big part is a juicy brain which we all had when we were younger.

One of the descriptions I liked about the Meitner MA3 was that it put "meat on the bones."  That just might do it for me. I'll see. I am always hopeful.
