Greetings,
Your questions is interesting in that you imply one should choose a digital playback system or an Analog system.
For Maximum pleasure you should have both. I designed the Music Vault Music Servers and if you plug a Music Vault 24-192 or the Music Vault Diamond into a first rate Dac like the the MSB power DAC or better you will be in for a real treat.
Certainly the best vinyl setup and the Music Vault with a high end DAC will sound different but that is just the way it is. The Music Vault and DAC will be more accurate and you may not prefer that sound as much.
I have over 2000 records so I will never get rid of my turntable but it is not better.
Music Servers done correctly can easily outperform CD Players that cost thousands of dollars and are much more user friendly.
