How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog?


I have heard some very high end digital front ends and although  they do sound very good, I never get the satisfaction that I do when i listen to analog regardless if its a"coloration" or whatever. I will listen to high end digital, and then I soon get bored, as if it just does not have the magic That I experience with a well set up analog system. So how much do I need to spend to say, " get a sound that at least equals or betters a 3K Turntable?

Hi  tzh21y,
In response 
"I have been used to analog my whole life "
Specifically what kind of analog set up do you currently have? forgive me if you have already answered that.

" I think I read someone said that "no digital will ever satisfy like analog" "
But at what cost are you willing to see if digital could make that happen?

When ever I feel comfortable enough to confess to people that I am a self proclaimed audiophile, they ask me "what kind of turntable / analog set up do you have"?,  I answer I don't have one. 

They then ask me "why not"? and I say " because I can't afford it".

You may need to reevaluate your situation and priorities in your current situation. Cherry pick your LP's and if $3k is your number, stream the rest with a decent player,  while simultaneously growing your LP library 
- Best of Luck ...
