Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use

I just added a Rogue RP-1 to my system. I use a Bluesound Vault 2 as a music server. Befor the Rogue I have been able to tell the difference in different DAC's I've had. My equipment is Emotiva XMC-1, Oppo 105, Bluesound Vault 2, AV123 strata Mini speakers and a SVS 300bp subwoofer.

I've compared the Oppo 105 to the Vault and the Oppo was definitely better, I've also compared the Vault to the XMC-1 and the XMC-1 was better.

Since installing the Rogue RP-1 they all seem to sound the same, even borrowed a Schiit Bitfrost. Again I could not hear a difference. So I have just simplified my setup and I'm just using the the RCA out from the Vault to one of the RP-1 inputs.

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong

Thanks

What are you using for cables , also the quality can possible be close to the same level. Why don’t you upgrade to the New Denafrips Arias15 or Pontus 15

they have new engineering and the 15 series is a generation  better.

I bought the Iris reclocker which is a steal at $550 , my friend has the New Aries 15 it is very detailed and natural R2R dac.
