PS Audio Direct Stream DAC w/Roon Nucleus + vs. Auralic Vega G1

I’m interested in upgrading my DAC from a Mytek Brooklyn DAC plus.  I can’t easily do a head to head comparison and am wondering what fellow audiophiles think about these two options or what else they would recommend in this price range.  I love PS Audio products but worry about the age of their DAC product (ancient in DAC years)

I welcome your thoughts

Thank you all for ongoing comments.  For the record, my speakers are Klipsch Cornwalls with a REL T7 sub running through a Velodyne SMS-1 management system

AC power runs through a AudioQuest Niagara 1200 and I have a Uptone Audio JS-2 driving DC power to Mytek and Nucleus.

I know this an old thread, but I'm on the exact same boat now. Would you mind sharing what was your final decision and outcome? Thank you

I ended up with the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC.  There have been 1 or 2 firmware updates since I purchased it to help keep it current.  I am pleased with my choice and expect to stick with it for a while
