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.

Thanks guys , your comments have been most helpfull, i have a musical fidelity x-10d that i used on a cheaper player before i got the a324 dac /transport combo,it does smooth the sound at the expense of some lost detail, i will look at mains conditioning ,the audioquest digital cable is apparently a true 75ohm digital cable, maybe pure silver cables might be worth a try as well.
