Thanks for sharing your observations. While I agree with some of your conclusions, have to demur on some others.Case in point is the sound stage. The digital playback I've heard that has both the widest and deepest sound-stage is from a Electrocompaniet ECC-1 player. It provides a significantly richer/fuller overall sound compared to NOS DACs, and the stage is both wider and deeper. However, the imaging seems more precise with the NOS DACs. There is more space around the instruments with the NOS DACs, but it (the sound) can seem a bit threadbare compared to a player like ECC-1.
If one could combine the best traits of both approaches, one could retire all vinyl playback rigs. :-)
