Where's Digital playback at today ?

Pardon my ignorance on this subject as I have not be around any digital playback for over 10 years.,..Some back ground, over a decade ago out of pure curiosity I purchased a Sony SCD777es .
Over the coarse of the three plus years that I owed this player I had it modified with all the stuff that was popular back then for this particular model.
Comparing other more expensive and popular digital players of the day back then ultimately left me cold.
So hence the title of my query, what's out there for under $8000.00 that a vinyl head could possibly warm up too?
Thank you

Hi Don you could very well be right , save your money and look at your Sony.
One evening I was reading some vintage absolute sound on digital, around the time the editor and writers started to embrace cd sound ,gag,and caugh... However it seem there were digital revolutions after revolution that came and went with no real meaningful leap in performance, just price, Shirley this can't still be true?

Well. I see my homework is cut out for me.
Virtually every single digital playback that I listened to had identifiable digital character and colourations that left me cold which ultimately forced me to abandon cd and sacd all together.
So ,ten years have passed and I am curious again about digital play back, how far has it actually advanced from a decade ago? And I'm sure it has.
The challenge what ever that I listen to in digital play back will be stiff, what my Lyra Olympus cartridge is pulling out of the record groove is revelatory.
