DAC help For my tube rig


Looking for some guidance/validation...
Need to add a new DAC to my Shindo Massetto/Montrachet into Devore O/96.
Current list of contenders are:
Auralic Vega (want to add the new Aries streamer too)
Ayre QB-9 DsD
Lampizator G4/L4
PS Audio Directstream

Any thoughts or experience would be much appreciated.

Guf,
That's a very nice system you've put together, must sound really good.
Charles,
I've heard the Auralic Vega and the Lampizator Big 5 DAC in the same
system of a good friend. The Vega is very good sounding but the
Lampizator is a true level above, simply better across the board IMO. I don't
care for the Ayre (but you certainly may) . I haven't heard the PS Audio Data
Stream. Of course my comments are relevant only if we hear in a similar
fashion. Given the make up of your fine system I think you'd love the natural
sounding Lampizator.
Good Luck,
Charles,
