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

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. 

Excellent point. Can I enjoy my Streamer and CD Player? Absolutely!! And to Audphile1's point. A poor quality pressing on vinyl may NOT sound as good as what is available on streaming.
