Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig?

Hey All,
There once was a time when I looked forward to shopping for arcane mono classical and jazz vinyl. The anticipation of hearing a newly cleaned recording from 1957 that I didn’t realize existed until just a few hours prior. The satisfaction of owning 200 plus records. But now since I’ve upgraded my DAC and Transport, I’ve become disenchanted with vinyl. It still sounds musical but not nearly as close to a live performance as my digital setup. So I’m now I’m thinking about selling my ASR Mini Basis Exclusive MK 2 phono preamp and my modified Thorens TD 145 with AT 33 mono anniversary cartridge. I could put the money towards a surgical procedure that I’ve been putting off. Will I regret this afterwords? I don’t even know how much to ask for the equipment or whether someone would even take an interest in it. Any ideas out there?

I have a Vinyl Set Up that is extremely satisfying to myself.
Vinyl is my Adult Life Long Interest.

I have a CDT and DAC as a Set Up,  this is also extremely satisfying to myself.
I have only used CD for approx' Five Years.
  
I don't Compare either for their performances anymore, there is no longer a winner in my mind.
Either when I had carried out comparisons, were totally capable of producing a enjoyable experience, especially if one medium was allowed to have a extended playtime and not under A/B Comparison.

There are Two Sources each capable of allowing for a very satisfying playback experience.
I have an itch to see how a Computer / Streamer can perform, but don't feel the urgency to create the experience.

I feel very confident a DAC and Transport will allow you to keep on enjoying your musical encounters.
