I agree with Herman, you won't get better sound than your vinyl, but perhaps your life will be simpler.
For my taste, I like the (tube) Audio Note DAC's, as they're easy on the ear. Perhaps you could buy one used here at Audiogon, drive it with a DVD player and be happy (assuming you already have a DVD to watch movies).
I had the new Cary for audition for two weeks. It has wonderful bass, tight fast and deep, but has a couple of places in the midrange frequencies that were troublesome to my ear, so I was glad to send it back.
For me, digital is better if it's not bright or "in your face." I will accept less than ultimate digital resolution, in favor of being able to listen to more CD's.
Your goals may be completely different, so choose accordingly.
