Tube or R-2R DAC for Tube System


My main system is a tube system, tube amps, tube pre-amps, etc. I am in a choice of a new tube or R-2R ladder DAC. I have no doubt about a tube DAC, but I also have heard a lot of good things about the R-2R ladder DACs. May any of you share your opinions?

Don’t put yourself in a corner. There are many excellent dacs 
besides R2R dacs  the classic Multibit dacs are used still by many companies like Analog devises 1955 chips used by Briscati  BB1704 used by several companies ,and other Multibit dacs 
which are R2R in practice they are all incorporated on one chipset 
and were very precision built all laser trimmed and very time consuming that’s a big reason they were discontinued .
in fact Briscati upper dacs incorporate a choice of filters ,Multibit dac ,as well as R2R dac, as well as a great Roon ready streamer module.seperate DSD ,as well as high quality analog preamp section .
