Audioengine 5s good enough for V-DAC?

The V-DAC seems to blow the water out of cheaper DACs like the HRT music streamer and the fubar dacs, but most reviewers are testing these dacs with high end speakers... I'm not sure the audioengines will be able to get all 300 dollars worth of dac-osity from the v-dac, but I don't know what I'm talking about, so that's why I'm here. If the audioengines don't sound a whole lot better through the V-DAC than through the music streamer, I'm not sure it's worth three times the cost. But then again, the V-DAC will probably be the LAST dac I ever get; it has everything I'l ever need while the hrt might not quite cut it (no optical in, no upsampling).

Thoughts?
