So with best possible gear ( Bryston or Larita) and Speakers and Dac you are satisfied with Bad source like DVD player transport or Worldspace?
Please hear a good ( or average) cd on CD player with digital out ,and you will elaize what you were missing....or hear a good record on TT..
The chain is as strong as weakest link and longtime I suspect that the source is VERY WEAK in this case.In fact you should have collected Good Cd's or FLAC first ,then tried a good PC or Bit Perfect CD player and then tried valve amplification. I am doubtful if digital out in LG DVD player is bit perfect ( expert comments please) and as a transport it is too jittery.(Again expert comments please)

There is someting amiss if you can connect to the music only if it is played back on a quality system.
I can listen to music on a transistor radio and be fully involved and connect with the musicians,but what do I know i am not an "AUDIOPHILE."
Worldspace provided good music of reasonable quality,and I for one will miss the service.
