Must we sacrifice? If you're a music lover you must have both worlds (analog/digital), because of the music that's simply not available in either world. Would you give up music that you love, because it's inconvenient? Or, because there's not enough air?
If you've got both then you'll discover your preference, and if you're an audiophile you'll work on the sound, and your preference might flip and flip again.
BTW - I find my digital side to be a big pain in the butt, not convenient, and frustrating. It falls within the same pitfalls as computers, cell phones, and the like. I put up with it, because I need the music.
And, right now I prefer my vinyl, because my system is currently stronger on that side.
