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?

I had been using a DAVE + M Scaler as input to my Eddie Current tube headphone amp, and ended up replacing it in that chain with a Holo May R-to-R DAC, which I liked better there. I've since moved the Chord gear to my 2-channel system to replace an MSB 'Analog' DAC....
