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.

neko d-100-2 is very nice too... output transformer coupled, warm nature very easy to listen to, picked one up recently, quite impressed

as for units mentioned above:

rme adi2 is a really great dac but it is NOT warm... it is very good akm implementation - clean crisp tight focus revealing... not lean and strident but not warm

same for chord dacs - i have qutest, 2qute, mojo, soon to be adding an m scaler to qutest -- they are also not warm.  the sound has body and foundation but there is startling clarity and detail... not warm side of neutral imo
