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

I have a Vault II and am considering getting a Schitt Yggdrasil. Was also looking at the Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC - little more $$.

My question is if I will see improvement from just using the Bluesound Vault as my DAC.

Thoughts, Experience? I bought the Bluesound to get rid of my CD's when I first started building my system. I heard it was a good option, now I'm looking to improve while using it to still serve as my streamer.

also, why do most people recommend the "Less is More" version of the Yggy over the "More is Better" version?
