i am trying to get a smooth vinyl sound from cd


Hi there
My current setup is a musical fidelity a3cr pre/power with a musical fidelity a324 dac and a teac p700 transport , i use a audioquest sdv 1 coaxial cable and kimber pbj interconnects, i listen to headphones sennheiser hd 500s, as i live in a unit, my headphone amp is a musical fidelity x-can v2,my turntable is a rega planer 2 with nagaoka mp11 mm cartridge. The problem is the turntable sounds more open and smooth, it is like the dac/transport sound is compressed ,the bass is lacking and the treble is strong and hard,I love vinyl but i am trying to get a analoge sound as lps are not that easy to buy new at a reasonable price hear in australia. Any sugestions on the my system would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Mlauner: Everytime I have heard Naim gear I have been incredibly impressed. But I would be interested to know exactly what turntables the Naim CD player rivaled. I still have not heard any CD player that matches a top-notch LP setup except on the issue of noise.
