Lampizator vs. Mytek Manhattan II

I was about to pull the trigger on a DAC upgrade to the Lampizator Big 7, but a review of the Mytek Manhattan II in Stereophile caught my eye.

Mytek is 1/2 the price and includes MQA.....Herb Reichert rated it an A+. 

I use an Acoustic Plan transport, Shindo Giscours preamp, and 8 watt 300B mono amps.

Has anyone had great success using the Mytek Manhattan II as a DAC, with tube components?

Thanks for the advice.

Y’all really think the Manhattan II can beat the Lampi B7 or say the Golden Atlantic? Not coming from a place of knowing, just wondering...

I love the featur set of this DAC, have read the reviews but still wonder what its sound signature is. House sound for Mytek anything like Lampi? 

Also, for price, might want to look at the Mojo Audio Mystique V3. 

I wonder if the soundstage size of the Manhattan II can match the Mystique.
