Setting up and maintaining a TT and vinyl is a pain in the butt, but well worth it - and this is coming from someone who used to be severely sceptical of analogue
You may also want to think about a valve phono to give maximum "analog" contrast with your digital source (something I've been considering doing).
You could get an LP12 with Ittok/Lingo and a nice cart for not that much more than £1k these days, and it would have a nice synergy with your Naim set-up, but I expect the anti-Linn propaganda will prove overwhelming here.
At this stage I am happy to lose detail to get that analogue feel back. Will I be able to achieve this within my budget?
If you sold your 555ps you could get an amazing vinyl front end. The system seems curiously imbalanced with a £4.5 psu for the dac, and a preamp much higher up the chain than the power amp.
Well tempered plus Phono cards for your maim pre. The well tempered is sublime and if you buy 2ns hand you'll never lose cash.
Lovely collection sondek. Do the record cabinets reverberate at all, though? Or do you move the decks onto the wall shelf when in use? Also, what's the wood glue doing?!

If you miss the analogue sound of your CDS3 why don't you audition the Naim streamers?

The NDX and NDS are analogue sounding and therefore worthy of consideration
