If you want an analog sound from digital, I can get you there, but it may be a bit more than $8K. The best route is computer audio, but I can also get you close using any CD transport, even the one you already use.
I typically get a best of show for my systems at every show I'm at, and this year was no exception at Newport and RMAF:

Bill Hobba knows my equipment, at least the Off-Ramp 4.
Several customers of mine have abandoned or sold their vinyl setups after getting my digital gear:

I can even help you make your vinyl setup sound a lot better at the same time. Just email me - see the website.
