Why is it so good?

Hi All, I just finally getting around to hooking my iMac computer up to my McIntosh amp. I have about 24000 songs on it, most of them in Apple lossless. I know there are better formats. I also know iTunes is not great for playback. However, it sounds incredible. Much better than all my Turntables and CDPs. 
Maybe this is because the tone is adjustable on the playback on computer? Or maybe the DAC on the Mc is really good? Sounds much better than SACDs even.

After having been reborn as a vinyl junkie 10 years ago I am really wondering if I need to rethink things, within the confines of my components and ears. 
Your thoughts are appreciated!

thanks for thanks for your response! Thanks definitely haven’t taken vinyl out of the equation.  It remains my favorite format. 
Wondering if I need to upgrade my source components for vinyl and CD?

Because I grew up with vinyl. Because I love collecting it. Because I love the art. Because I love the sound.

Thanks All, very good comments. I think I have figured out that they are all different more than better or worse. At least to me. And some songs and recordings may be perceived as better on one format over another. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it all.
