What does your DAC sound like


I’m in the market for a newly used DAC, based on reviews I’m considering the playback designs Merlot, Vermeer, Grimm mu2. I prefer a well balanced sound more analog like. I hoping that user experiences with these dacs OR others that might fit the bill will respond

I had an MHDT Orchid but the tube took away from the clarity and information though it sounded musical. I am now convinced that DACs with tubes are problematic, often.

Next was Bifrost II/64 from Schiit but was a bit harsh.

I settled on R2R from Holo Audio, the Spring 3 KTE version. Balanced tonality, very musical with all kinds of recordings, and very wide and deep soundstage.
