$1000 should be spent for a NOS DAC or a turntable?

Hi,
I have a budget of $1000. I am looking for an organic, honest and neutral source. Should I spend money on a NOS DAC or a turntable?

The music I listen to is vocal, jazz, classical.

Thank you!

I have no intention to treat it for now. @ sbank I don't have any record collection now. @coach59 I read some articles, they said NOS DAC will provide "the most organic sound" . I am not sure how true it is but want to try :)

A DAC alone is not a source, must be fed a signal. Not having a record collection already, I would think digital. Look into MHDT DACs.
