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.

Try a Muse Model Two Plus DAC and Model Five transport. This'll get you there!
I've heard several comments lately that the Meridian G08 is very vinyl like. Also consider an Audio Note DAC. I bought mine used from a vinyl guy who said it was the first digital that reminded him of vinyl. He was upgrading up the line.
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.
