Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?

I've recently moved heavily into streaming and digital playback.  That system's core is the Denafrips Terminator Plus DAC with an Innuos Zenith Mk 3 / Phoenix USB.  Just added a LHY Audio SW-8 ethernet switch. Great cables all the way around. By most standards this is a reasonable mix of gear.  I run the Innuos Sense App as it sounds better than Roon. Love the convenience of digital and infinite supply of tunes from Qobuz.  My problem is this.  My vinyl rig generally sounds better.  Sometimes by a wide margin. Do others with both rigs have the same problem?

I have generally thought my digital front end sounds pretty good , however I just bought a turntable and it sounds REALLY good with a modest cartridge and cheap NAD phono pre.    Hopefully a much better phono pre will really elevate performance.    

I regrettably sold my turntable about 10 years ago when someone in my family snapped the stylus off. Fortunately I kept some really good vinyl.   I was up until 1 AM spinning wax .....
