Will an outside DAC over ride the tubes


I have a tubed output cd player and was getting restless to by something new. I was wondering if I purchased an external DAC, will this override the tube in my cd player?

Here's a site that details some of the various flavors that can be experienced with different 12AU7 family tubes: (https://www.tubeworld.com/12au7.htm) My own choice would be the Siemens E82CC(Spec. Qual., triple mica) or Telefunken ECC802S, both known for their lack of coloration/microphonics/noise.
