Dave: I use the same phono stage as you (BAT VK-10), and a similar TT (VPI Aries 2), and while my SCD-1/MF Tri-Vista combo is very good—the best digital in my experience—I would never say that it surpasses my vinyl. Not even the SCD-1 alone, playing SACD, does this.Frankly, I consider it a matter of apples vs. oranges: the two formats are excellent, but in different ways. The digital front end, however, sounds nothing like vinyl. Actually it sounds more like open-reel tape, which I consider a compliment.
