I think it's unlikely, but I want to try the V14 Digital just to see.
As an update, the system seemed to have a breakthrough last night. I bought and downloaded a copy of Gil Evans The Individuality of Gil Evans and was blown away by the air, depth, and width of the soundstage. This is a CD-quality FLAC, and obviously well-recorded great players, but still it made me wonder if I was finally hearing the difference I expected. Listening to familiar albums this morning (Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane, Santana Abraxas, Aaron Neville Nature Boy) and they all sound more airy and at the same time the instruments sound more solid. The Gil Evans record is obviously a special recording, but other recordings also seem to sound better as well.
Listening continues...

I know the Triton v1 very well and wrote about it
here. While later Tritons continued improvements, the original was the breakthrough product, imo.
Wrt the turntable, it is more likely that the TT's power supply rather than its motor would put noise back into your system especially if it is a switch mode power supply (SMPS) which can gererate RF.
