Not sure if my experience would be useful, but I had an opportunity to listen Auralic Vega dac at friends home, on a system that I am quite familiar with.
At the time he had a Mccormack amp, Ayre preamp and Avalon speakers.The dac he had was Arcam fmj 33.
He took Auralic on try, as well as Ayre qb 9.I was curios to hear Auralic, as I have heard, or better said, read some nice reviews.
To cut the long story short, it turn out to be a major disppointment for everybody present. On all but one ’filter’ the sound was very ’artificial’ in lack of better term.
I would not state that in some other sytem the result could not be different, but if you are able to, do try to compare Auralic with some other dacs.
My frined kept the Arcam for a while (ut performed better than Vega) and than lately took Ayre qb 9 dsd.
