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

100% digital here, streaming and CD.  Had that funny feeling in my gut about a year ago and started to look into a "good" analog rig.  Figured it would be about $10-12k all in.  Not including vinyl costs.  

Then I used some very bad language and decided to take that dough and
tear out the music room completely (down to studs) and rebuild everything.  Was a good decision for me. Very happy.

I do have a Teac rtr that is near and dear to me and a few tapes, I do believe it would need a rebuild.  May happen...but last on the list.
