A warm DAC?

Help me pair a DAC with my Prima Luna integrated, Focal 1038 be and PS Audio Perfect Wave transport...Speakers are quite detailed. Looking to level out the high end. Prefer analog warmth. No interest in streaming, expect to use for CD play only...budget $2500.

Hi larseand,
 
I run a PWT with an old ladder DAC, a Theta Pro Basic III. This is with either my Prima Luna Dialogue Premium or CJ 17LS2 as the preamp.

It replaced a Hegel HD25 and slightly rounded off the occasional sharp edge from my Thiel CS5's.

Tested a number of other DACs before I found the Theta.

Thanks for listening,

Dsper
