Yes, just convert your streams to raster (presence-absence) and a raster
for flow direction as I mentioned here:

However, you need to be cautious about fit between the existing streams and
the DEM. Definitively check how your existing streams align with the
derived ones (where there are both streams).

To use the derived streams and get rid of parts you don't want, you could
buffer the existing streams and preserve only the derived streams which are
in that buffer.

However, you should really look at why they are different and specifically
what is closer to reality.
