DAC/Pre-Amp Upgrade, R2R or Delta Sigma?

I am looking for a DAC/Pre-Amp upgrade. I have owned a Naim V1 DAC and I am currently playing from a NUC with a North Star Fluxio DAC. The Naim V1 was very upfront, lots of prat but not very well organised. The North Star was a clear upgrade. Also a Burr Brown DAC, but with a very 3 dimensional sound with lots of detail and zero listening fatigue. 

Sonnet Morpheus is on my current short list (R2R), and also Linn Selekt . What is the global difference in sound signature of R2R vs Delta Sigma? Suggestions appreciated!

Good recommendations. Chord and Denafrips. Some people say R2R sounds more natural, musical with better transient response, and Delta Sigma more precise, spatial with less distortion.

Good tip, using your ears and not your eyes. I thought this was Audiogon, or is this the AVS forum? Or even worse ASR. Nevermind.
