This is a difficult question to answer I think because there are not many people who have compared different price tier digital and vinyl sources in the same system over a short enough period of time to make firm conclusions. All most of us have to go on is anecdotal experiences. A dealer, or veterine of the industry may have a better idea, but digital is such a moving target.
I know three of my buddies love their Yggy2 DACs. They have different transports and cables, but total cost is probably in the same ball park as another friend who was digital only and recently bought a new Technics DD turntable, built his own phono stage. All four people love the sound of this gear. The question is tough because these guys have not brought their Yggy2 and transports to the vinyl guy or visa versa.
I assume to answer the question properly and with some degree of confidence, we would have to do direct comparisons in the same system. Absent that, we are simply inferring preferences and value, and there is no shortage of that.
There are data points out there. MikeL, SpiritofMusic, some of my friends who have both digital and vinyl - they all seem to prefer their vinyl, by a little or a lot, even though the sources may be differently priced.
I think it comes down to what medium holds the music you want to hear, which format fits more into your lifestyle, and which format sounds better to you. Price and commitment also play a role. For some it can be both formats, for others, it is clearly one or the other, for a variety of reasons.
Personally, at my price level and with only limited comparisons, I prefer vinyl for sonic reasons, though I do appreciate the convenience and accessibility to music with digital. At the high end lower level of about $6K for digital or vinyl, I prefer vinyl, though this is based on different system and room contexts. At the top end, MikeL has written that he prefers vinyl, though I do not know if that is the case with all three of his turntables.
In the end, I suspect personal biases will make it difficult to reach an objective, or definitive answer as to which offers more value.
