I'm about at the end of trying to bridge the large quality gap between my record system and my digital. I built a custom audio PC with linear power supply, isolated SSD power rail, and Paul Pang v3 USB controller. I've went through a a bunch of DACs, currently using a Yggdrasil Analog 2. Chinese balanced isolation transformer, audiophile cables throughout mostly Audio Sensibility. The fact is, nothing so far has been able to bring me the big realistic dynamics that I get out of my best records. Record setup is a Triangle Arts Concerto with upgraded platter, speed controller, Reed 2A tonearm and TA Zeus cart. Hashimoto SUT into a Chinese all-tube phono stage (Marantz 7 clone I believe).
I just don't know what to do. Am I just going to have to make my primary system analog only and leave digital to my headphone system?
