really good digital playback systems are unfortunately really EXPENSIVE

...and a modest turntable is at least as enjoyable. Not to mention, you can still find good LPs for $1 each at garage sales.

At hifi shows, every once in a while you hear something really good, but the system is either some proprietary hard drive DSD files, and/or an absurdly expensive one-off tubed DAC for $50,000. Only then does consumer grade stuff really sound weak in comparison.
IMO, you'll look long and hard before you're fully happy with a consumer digital product at an affordable price. The last ten yards to the holy grail are simply too expensive.
