My question - do newer models follow a similar sound direction and are they significantly better?

Anyone compare?

Best to ye all,

I have a Black X-05 and it has been flawless in operation and sounds excellent, however I don't find myself listening that often as I prefer my vinyl rig with a VPI Classic 3 with a Cadenza Black cartridge playing through a JC3+ Parasound phone stage. Just sounds more alive.
