Bill, Paul L. I believe has an Audio Note DAC you could listen to. His system is down and the DAC sitting around.
  Next up would be a Musical Fidelity DAC [ Russ ?]. A bit of a stretch would be the AMR DAC or CDP. Not inexpensive at list but you have friends. Let's not forget Marantz either.
  The EE DAC+ we heard that day might need another demo using a richer sounding tube like a Mullard or Telefunken.
   Bill no gear I know of has the PRAT and life of NAIM besides MBL. That for you is going to be hard to replace. Yes a bit lean but not overwhelming so. Hook up your TT again and take another listen. if the TT sounds better to than CD voice your system accordingly with cabling and or a different CD or DAC.
   It is difficult at best to voice ones system for both formats.
Have fun trying.

Charles... AMR ???

The AMR is very sweet... Heard berto's rig with the AMR... very compelling... also, BobM's Ayre with the MP upgrade is very, very good!

Too bad you couldn't snag that Goldenote Stibbert IV that went for a song about a year ago... sweet, sweet, analog sounding tube unit that bests the Lector CDP... 

Cheers,
Pete
