Everyone hears differently. We build a DHT DAC and a excellent phono stage. Our DAC typically sounds better than most TT set-ups we compare it to. I love to see the expression on a persons face when there analog set-up just does not sound as good as our DAC. BUT even when we use a JC Penny TT ( we think CE made them back in the day), the sound beats our DAC every time.
Happy Listening.
