I think my R2R dac (VTL 20 bit) is noticeably more musical than the other dacs I have had and have.
It seems most dacs are delta sigma, and have been for some time. I have to wonder if the whole industry listening narrative has shifted to the importance of 'resolution', since delta sigma seems to be very good at that. Musicality seems difficult for delta sigma to achieve. I recently got a Lampizator G4L4 while I was repairing my VTL (who knows how long it would take me, if I could repair it at all). Tube rolling has definitely achieved a more musical capability, but it is still a bit lacking.
If your primary focus is resolution, then possibly r2r is a waste of time for you. Perhaps, however, if you hear a good r2r, with a tube output stage, in a well put together system, you might be quite surprised at the soul it has.
The taste of everyone is different - it is great there are choices to suit all....
