How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog?


I have heard some very high end digital front ends and although  they do sound very good, I never get the satisfaction that I do when i listen to analog regardless if its a"coloration" or whatever. I will listen to high end digital, and then I soon get bored, as if it just does not have the magic That I experience with a well set up analog system. So how much do I need to spend to say, " get a sound that at least equals or betters a 3K Turntable?

As to the original question:As mentioned before, the answer to this depends on certain variables, but to simplify things, let's assume an excellent quality LP and a similarly outstandingly mastered digital counterpart and an outstandingly well set up TT with a superb sounding phono.
In my experience, you would need in excess of 3k for a high performing dac, a reclocker, and a very good music player & suitable cabling in between.



Maybe I will take a look at the Lampizator as they seem to be pretty well respected.  The best I've heard to date have been the DCS products.  Still, they do not sound like my very modest analog rig.  
I wiz listening to some NOS early Beatles cassettes - the ones you never see anymore, blue with no barcode - yesterday on my SONY Professional portable cassette player. You simply cannot hear dynamic range like that on any Beatles CD - especially the recent spate of reissues that came out on the last few years. It’s great to hear the opening Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band the way it’s SUPPOSED to sound. Same for the White Album on early cassette.
Dear @ronres : ""  If you enjoy and seek the sound analog creates then no amount of money spent on digital will be able to replicate the analog experience.  """

Why do you want to replicate the analog experience that's wrong and different medium where you lost a huge signal amount of information and where adds a lot of non recorded signal information. Digital is truer to the recording to what recording microphones pick-up?:

I am full of preposterous blanket wet noodle statements and totally politically incorrect which is intentional.
