How many of you are digital only systems?


I currently have an all digital setup, streaming and stored digital files and ripped CD’s on my Innuos Zen mkIII via Chord Qutest to a PrimaLuna EVO 400i. I have been contemplating adding analog to my system, like a Clearaudio concept table. I am NOT hear to debate which one is better, so please don’t turn it into that, I understand the differences. How many of you are digital only? If you listen to digital as well, please tell me why. Is it because of sonic qualities or just the nostalgic reasons of spinning vinyl. I just don’t know if I want a turntable because it would be new gear to play with or if I think it has sonic qualities that I am missing with digital. I would have to buy new vinyl as I really only have a few of my albums from when I was teenager in the 80’s. Maybe I should just put the money towards upgrading digital components, even though I love my Qutest/Zen combo, I could move up in their line?? Am I missing something truly special in the audio world if I’m all digital? Thanks for your thoughts

I have been all Digital before it was superior to analog ,by using Vacuum tubes in the chain ,Jitter was the big thing back then.
turntables to many are still good and nostalgia ,to me a pain in the Ass. With SS drives and Femto clocks and big power supplies 
Good digital even. At $2k can beat a turn table at $5k.
analog is warmer then some .I have had digital from Meitner that was $7k 5 years ago ,and all the hot brands from Schiit ,Yaggs 
densfrips Pontus, ,Venus all very good Holo springs also 
I recently bought a excellent dac Nobody in the U.S has any experience with AudioGD their latest  lower priced $2k dac the R8 MK2 is a excellent R2R dac with 7 true Audio choices including a non over sampling Vinyl mode That is warm but a bit soft great for older cooler recordings for example or oversampling with more detail and slam.it is still new but real potential and at over 25 lbs the Big power supplies give it incredibly good deep Bass and dynamic control something vinyl cannot do as well and much more more quiet. streaming just getting into that Melco N10
a great streamer with QObuz,and Roon everything run from your iPad is possible there’s just so much more possible ,even digital is firmware upgradable ,I will buy a  reference digital piece, but for the moment very happy with its naturalness and musicality .
my brother recently purchased a $35k DCS Rossini dac which is waay out of my league but it is incredible , if you have a                $$ 6figure digital audio system you can hear everything in the recording like you are there ,most audio systems miss.the sky’s the limit in Audio !!
If you have the patience and space vinyl if setup right can have a special quality to it, nothing wrong with it ,I just feel very good digital is no longer the liability it once was ,and having several settings for tonal balance to match my taste with digital is a +.
