Tube or R-2R DAC for Tube System

I use Chord Qutest with 300B SET with Altec 604E 15" coaxial with compression horn mid-high driver.
Qutest is very detailed and neutral sounding DAC. But with SET the sound is warm.
They work great together.
It is completely different league compared to my R2R Cary 303 mk1 CD player.
I still use Cary 303 as transport.

I know there are good modern R2R DACs around. But I’m not sure that you need to soften sound if you have a tube amplifier.

@idolindian,
You were given excellent and wise advice from @verdantaudio. Don’t over generalize, implementation is more meaningful and worthy of consideration rather than strict R2R vs delta sigma dogma.

"I can show you warm, musical delta-sigmas and cold and bright R2Rs."
Truth!

Whys is tubes and R2R a choice? Why not both if you happen to think they are to your liking?
Orthogonal decisions.  Like "V8 or red car?"
Anyway i personally think that choosing by technology type is not particularly valid. I can make FETs, BJTs and Tubes sound pretty much alike.  Choose the product that you find musically enjoyable.

generalizations are not true and it really comes down to implementation.

Bingo. When they are true its someone using a brute forcet echnology to overcome design limitations.  "I cant make it warm and natural so I'll throw in some tubes".  Pass, with apologies to Nelson LOL.
