I am in the slow process of re-doing my entire system; only the preamp will stay. I have to say re-learning record playing geometry and setup and cleaning and on and on is less painful and way more straight forward than computer audio. As far as playback, the only thing I have heard that give me pause in the opportunity cost of vinyl is the Bricasti DAC.
This is amongst other upper-end digital.
