Mytek Liberty Vs. S.M.S.L VMV D1 DAC

I am after a new Dac for my headphone amp.  Its a computer set up - i.e. USB input, with Tidal and/or Audirvana+.
For my amps I have the THX AAA 789 and Musical Fidelity X-Can V8 tube amp.
Headphones are - Grado GS1000e, Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro, Sennheiser HD 580 & HD 600, Lenco K106 and  Mitchell & Johnson MJ2. 
My current dac is the Schiit Modi Multibit, and I feel that it right now is the weakest link.

With about  $1K budget, I have more or less narrowed down my choices to one of these two dacs:

Mytek Liberty
S.M.S.L VMV D1 DAC

I have read great things about both and not sure how to decide.

Any opinions? Has anyone compared between the two?

Thanks for the replies.  I was curious about r2r, and whether the mqa is worth the effort. 

Any recommendation for a r2r dac with balanced outs? 

My set up is built for both neutral with the thx and warm with the MF.
