I had to spend quite a bit (vinyl rig is about $10K) before my vinyl rig beat digital, and I have not spent a comparable on digital. I can't say I've ever heard a topline mbl or dcs system. It isn't likely that I will ever spend $10k + on a dac, or have the opportunity to do leisurely comparisons to lp in my own system. I therefore don't have a valid basis for comparison.
with my current systems, cd is for background, lp is for enjoying the sound.
