I am a vinyl enthusiast too. I also suffer the same pressing issues. From a theoretical point of view. I wonder how a piece of music played using digital equipment and recorded on digital equipment could ever sound better on vinyl? I also wonder how a tiny dac which appears too have few...

Another thing that is very odd. Listening to youtube music videos on my pc via B & W P5 headphones is far more enjoyable than listening to mac min / chord dac. youtube audio bitrate is inferior. Find that very weird. Maybe I can hook the PC up to the amp and compare. Seems quality not equal...
