Tube DAC with i2s input?


Hi all, I want to upgrade from my Pontus II which is a good DAC but I'm looking for better depth/dimension, separation and analog warmth. I recently added a Laiv uDDC to the Pontus and that improved things notably so I'd like to keep that option for a new tube DAC, however most I come across do not have i2s input. Any suggestions? Budget $4-6k thanks. - Rich

@fastricky Ah ok, I see they have a few less expensive DACs.  I'd want black as well so I understand.  Maybe you can find one used and deal with the silver or go with a Lampizator and forget the I2S like soix said.  

I can't say I've seen many tube DACs with an i2s input.  Audio Mirror makes the WAVE Tube DAC with I2S but it's pretty pricey.  https://audiomirror.com/product/wave-tube-dac/
