Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?

@grislybutter , et al.-

Here is the lowdown on how this thing works.

It only digitizes an analog input signal if you’re running something like BluOS and want to send it to another system that can receive it which obviously requires a digital signal. If you’re not doing that and just using it for straight up 2 channel by itself, analog inputs are not digitized and they stay unmolestedly analog. Can't speak for any other amp, but that's the scuttlebutt around the barbershop on this one. So, with that knowledgeable information in hand (if it is indeed accurate), we can safely conclude that yes, you can enjoy that sweet analog turntable sound through it.

Now, someone riddle me this; if the album you just bought was pressed from a digital source, is there even a point in playing it?

Yes, in another thread I asked why it is that an LP made from a digital source often sounds good.  Frequently better than what might have started out years ago as an analog master tape.  The answer is all in how the mastering engineer works his or her magic.  I have many examples of digital master tapes as the source used to make Redbook CDs, LPs, high res files and DSD.  The end result can be satisfactory in any format.

thanks @thecarpathian - I will add "unmolestedly analog" to my audiophile dictionary

@grislybutter ,

Also don’t forget " inspecting your albums anally"...

. . . and don't forget "cleaning the stems and seeds."  How about "hot tweeter"?
