A Dac about two thousand used
Clarrie, Especially since you are running a digital only set-up, you might also want to think about the DSPeaker Dual Core 2.0. It gives you a DAC and DSP features below 500Hz, as well as a number of other customization features. Got an award in A... 
Adding Tone Controls?
Bama214,I can confirm what Al said. You can run the DSPeaker Dual Core through your tape loop, if you want to have the option of running analog with the signal not touching the Dual Core at all. AND, it also has the capability of storing four diff... 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
Yeah, I'd try to get it home in your system (or get a Traveler from an online dealer with a return policy, such as Music Direct). So many factors other than the table could be creating that impression. Nothing beats a home audition.

Are there even any reviews of the new Oppo out there? Only been out a week. And judging by the improvements offered by ModWright, the power supply and analog output stages can be improved to a considerable degree. Not that it doesn't look awesome.... 
Heads Up for EELS fans
They are touring too in February. Apparently a great live show. A friend just grabbed me a ticket. 
Kuzma Stabi S? Need a small footprint turntable
Another small footprint table you could look into is the Well Tempered Simplex, smaller version of the Amadeus. Many fans of Well Tempered tables (complete with golf ball!) on this forum and elsewhere. Myself included. The Amadeus was my first hig...

And as an addendum to my Yamamoto recommendation, I would also suggest that you don't get too caught up in just the DAC chip used in a DAC (though these are important and will affect the sound). Do not forget the importance of a great power supply... 
Best phono preamp under $250
I quite liked the Musical Fidelity V-LPS. Soundsmith also has quite affordable MM phono stages that are well thought of, but I haven't heard these myself.

There is a Yamamoto YDA-01 available used here now. These rarely come up for sale, and are excellent. You can read the 6moons review for details. An incredible DAC. Beauty to look at too... 
Amp, On A Budget?
The Class D Audio (that's the company's name) amps are also quite impressive for their price. They come both as kits and assembled. I have one as a back-up amp to my tubes, and it sounds great when I put it in the chain. 
High quality AC turntable motor
Lewm, can you let me know how I can potentially obtain one of these second generation controllers? Are they currently available? Feel free to message me if that seems more appropriate than posting publicly. Googling has yielded little for me in my... 
High quality AC turntable motor
Thanks Palasr. Much appreciated. 
High quality AC turntable motor
Palasr, Can you point us to any turntable controllers that have all of the features you mention above? 
Qsonix closed ?
Find a good computer store with a tech who understands what you are trying to do. Should be able to create a mirror image of your drive. And probably worth backing up that HDD now... 
Wright WPP200C Phono Stage-- Info Please
Vinyl Engine is a good place to look for turntable related manuals. Not sure if they have phono stage manuals or not. But that has been a go-to resource for me when I have gotten vintage carts etc.
