Enjoy both worlds. I have a Black Ice Sound Expander connected to my Yamaha SACD/DAC player, which I love and I use Qobuz too. I just picked up a Jolida JD 9 II tube phone stage and based on a the recommendation of @dill I upgraded the tubes on both units to vintage 1960's Telefunken tubes and OMG!!!
A significant upgrade and I still have to break them in. The sound stage coming from both unit is exceptional producing a much warmer and detailed presence, as the sound is more alive, and on the turntable it is dead quiet. Much better bass response from the turntable now too.
That being said I will continue on with both modalities, with an little analog in my digital. I also have a Rogue Sphinx 3, with a tube preamp too, are we seeing a pattern here?, and yes I have upgraded those tubes to 1960's Mazda greyplate. I will install them next weekend as I did the Telefunkens this past weekend.
