Aye, right.
So my question back to the OP - what is 'outperform'? And how do you recognise or measure it.
Yes indeed. Apologies for the lack of clarity. I meant outperform subjectively. I suppose the question should be: can you suggest a modestly priced dac that sounds as good as or better than your high end vinyl front end in your subjective opinion?
However, the thread is a year old and I can now no longer afford even a modestly priced dac but nonetheless the answers may be of interest to others.
