Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming

@lalitk I suggest trying an external DAC with Vault, you should hear noticeable improvement over its internal DAC which is decent at best. May be consider a NOS DAC like Border Patrol,

By chance you happen to own the BP dac now? I ask because I’ve been trying different NOS R2R chip dacs past three years. Interesting you mentioned the BP. I recently ordered the SE-I model for rotation, periodically. We’ll see how it goes.

@lalitk Congratulations on your purchase of BP.  It’s a fine sounding DAC and appropriate for pairing with decent streamer like Vault. I am currently using a SS DAC, which I am extremely happy with. There are no valve components in my system. If I ever choose to go valve route, picking a Lampizator DAC like GG2 would be my first choice. 

Thanks for the note.  I won't have it for at least a few more weeks. Being built now. I sold off the last of my tube dacs prior to this.  In my situation, I'm not a fan of tubes directly in the signal path for my DAC setup.  The BP SE-I DAC associates the tube as a rectifier for the power supply part of the circuit, and not directly in the signal path itself.  Something I prefer, as with the rest of my system being all-tube. It may be a dac to rotate in/out adjacent to another dual-chip NOS solid state dac. Will be interesting to compare. Thx
