Streamer/dac …. Organic/euphonic sound signature

Hi guys.

Not new to the hobby but been away for many years - out of touch! Also developed nasty tinnitus while I was away.
No more critical listening for me…just background music. Still an audiophile at heart so good sound is still important.
Need recommendations for streamer/dac combo (keeping it simple) that’s organic and euphonic (coloured!) sounding. Rounded and full bodied weighty sound. Definitely on the very warm side of neutral. Dark? Excessive and thin/sharp high frequencies esp female vocal sibilance will set my ears off. :(

Budget $2.5 to $5k.

Thanks for your help.

Another one for the Bricasti M3. While not euphoric sounding IMO it is very organic

I use the Bricasti M3 and a friend has the GN DS-10. We compared and while the GN sounded good the Bricasti was just wow better in all areas. Better definition, better bass, fuller sounding. But with that being said the old US Importer is blowing out all GN products. The DS-10 is selling new for $1800. A great bargain.
