I am strictly 95% vinyl, really 100% when listening seriously, but have started researching Hi Rez digital. I am missing out on some music I would like to hear in my rig, that is my chief motivation.
I have been putting this off because in my experience there has been no comparison between the two but I have not invested in digital since the 90’s (see my system). Reluctant also because at audio shows, B&M, I can spot digital a mile away when I hear it, it just does not breathe life like vinyl. It sounds great for a while but then becomes “boring.”
I cannot invest at the level I have on my analog rig right now....so we shall see! Certainly want excellent SQ or it will have been for nothing.
