analog sounding DAC?

Please I need advice.I like analog sound.My system contains Sroll Transport going to Sroll integrated amp with dac built in,Kimber KS-3035,Belden digital cable and Tannoy Westminster.My DAC inside of Sroll sounds about the same as Weiss DA,awesome midrange and I like it but I also have heard Naim cd555 and that sounded more analog,darker sounding,I am looking for something between these two,I don't like cold clinical sound.Naim sounded great with old rock but sounded too dark on darker sounding cd¨s and it did not have as much resolution.I am looking for DAC mainly for playing cd¨s from a transport.

I have listened to 3 $40k analog rigs last year and NONE of them and I mean NONE of them could matchnlet alone better my digital rig. Take that whole it ain't gonna sound analog unless younhave analog with a huge grain of salt. True there are many dacs that claim superiority but sound very digital, Weiss Minerva etc. If you know what you are doing and choose superlative equipment it is very expensive to make analog to match great digital let alone surpass it.

I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying that turntable are panacea for sound as some would have you believe.
