OK, what? You watched a _digital_ live stream and somehow were able to determine that a turntable sounded better than a digital source. Alrighty.
Try sitting in a well treated room listening to a well put together system with a Jay's transport and DAC and then let us know what better vinyl system you can put together for less. I'm not sure what DAC you're talking about, you can get a Jay's DAC and CD transport for well under $10K. I've heard it and I'll wait...
