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.

Of the list and suggestions given so far, My vote would be for the Lampi (with DSD) or the PS Audio D-Stream.

If you hear the Lampi, I suspect you will jump in with both feet!
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,
I use a shindo Aurieges, First Watt Sit2, And had Lampizator L4G4 for months, and just replaced it with a big7. Very happy with The Lampizator products and service.
Guf,
That's a very nice system you've put together, must sound really good.
