Preamp DAC option.

I'm busy researching for a new preamp and came across the the Bryston BP series. They offer DAC as an add on option. Is this really worth while?

I'm looking into both the BP6 and Conrad Johnson PV14LS2. My understanding is that the DAC option on the BP6 would allow my preamp to do the conversion rather than my GCD600 or Pioneer.

So far, I'm leaning towards the VTL, much more transparent that the CJ. I prefer the CJ's vocals but am less partial to it coloration in the highs and lows. And also, this might sound a bit strange, but I dont like the look of the CJ...doesnt hamonize well with the rest of my system. Another important consideration is the lower price of the VTL. This way I can free up some cash to upgrade some of my cabling.
