It's all local now
RIght now it seems that the superstars are coming more from hip-hop. Kanye West, Jay-Z, & Eminem come to mind. 
Well Tempered Amadeus Options
Oscar, Do be sure to report back your findings on these carts and the DPS. 
Well Tempered Amadeus Options
Hmm, I haven't had a chance to hear my XX-2 mkII that is being rebuilt by Soundsmith, but my impression is that the GTA difference I very minimal whereas many seem to think the upgrade from the. 20X2L to XX-2 is a big one (incl Don Better IIRC). A... 
Mac Mini vs. CDP?
IIRC, the Rega's USB implementation is not a strength of the unit. You may want to look into a USB to coax converter. This would also allow you to play hi-res from your Mini. 
Miniwatt N3 run along with a pre-amp?
Not a DIYer, so couldn't give you the details. Maybe ask a tech nearby?

PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1

DIY HD Tracks from mint LPs?

Tube Monoblocks w/- balanced inputs?
Atmasphere monos if your friend is OK with OTLs? 
Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?
Ralph, Out of curiosity, what was the analog set-up that you had to compare to the high dollar digital playback? 
Help Me Build a Vinyl System
I'd suggest a Well Tempered Amadeus. Less fiddly than many turntables, and all one package of turntable and tonearm. Great reviews all over.
