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 still own a turntable, phono preamp and 3,000 vinyl LP's.
However, I only play digital.  At this time in my life, I can't be bothered with the phono & LP ritual of finding the album cleaning it and re-filing it.  Digital is too good and too convenient to be bothered with the antiquated process of playing a record.  I find I listen to a lot more music because of digital....instant accessibility with outstanding sound is where it's at.

...and no, I'll never sell my records or the analog portion of my rig.
