But my rips beat most commercial CDs and even high res purchases from HDTracks.

That has been my experience as well. A friend brought bunch of high res. files he purchased from reputable places and we were stunned that they sounded worse than a Red Book CD played on my CD player.

Even a screwed up ripping ( it was extremely cumbersome jury rigged process ) out of my humble not LP12 easily beat the high res. files.

Getting back to Pure Vinyl, my understanding via a friend who was using the PV informed that its drawback is that the splitted files sit within THEIR software on the replay source computer. So if you were to move that files to NAS, you lose all the tune splitting info is my understanding.

Yes. I know you can record off either phono or of preamp using Pure Vinyl. And so far several friends who done it always preferred their favourite phonostage. ( makes sense as they all have different colours )

I don't have enough actual user experience on various hardware yet. All I've done so far is listening to various rips done in a different methods. It gets even difficult when we know every vinyl sounds different too.

I've been using a Roland FA-66 FireWire interface. I selected this because it has RCA inputs. It does a fine job considering its price. Direct playback of the LP is still superior.

I haven't heard a good enough *budget* digital replay rivaling my favourite analogue replay. I've a feeling PC Audio done right can be very good as well as can be very costly. It seems that the format is still a tad premature and even if/when they grow up, I doubt they'll take over the vinyl replay entirely.
