VAC Renaissance Signature Mk V versus Allnic L-7000?


I currently have an all digital system, with an MSB Discrete DAC running direct to a Pass Labs 250.8, with Wilson Audio Sabrina X's.  Having read in several places that a good preamp would be better than the DAC direct to the amp, I have been contemplating putting a good tube preamp in to get better soundstage, realism etc.  I am going to audition the VAC in my system on Monday.  However, the Allnic seems to be a great and unique preamp as well, but I have no way to audition one. Any thoughts on how these two excellent preamps compare and might work in my system?

I don't know where either of you ended up but I have an Allnic L – 7000 preamp

i've had it for about three weeks now and I've had some really good preamps from Conrad Johnson to pass labs and carry audio but this is by far the most amazing preamp I've ever heard the detail the holographic imaging n vocal realism is unmatched. I'm impressed beyond expectations.  Yes I've also spent about another thousand dollars on some really good tubes but it's paid off in spades
