Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K


Need recommendations. Warm, lush and dark Dac. Big sounding and romantic please! Would consider a budget one too, ie from $500.00.

Thanks much.

Hello...it’s a long story. I guess not bright and organic. Big sound and romantic still stands. Thanks. :)

I suppose you'd enjoy the AudioGD Singularity 19; not bright, not super clear, dark, absolutely accurate timber -- every instrument sounds real. It was the opposite of what I like at the moment -- clarity and inner detail. Best of luck to you!

I think the Electrocompaniet ECD-1 has the sound you'd like. Read all the positive reviews. Very analog sounding. If you're interested, I have one for sale for $1100.00 on another site.

Get a dependable DAC from a reliable company that's not going anywhere, so that in the future you can receive updates, and it should be MQA ready as well. You should demo at least 3-5 of them (there are so many). Good hunting!

The discontinued PS Audio NuWave DSD is available at a great price and has a warm timbre with excellent bass extension. Was $1299, now about $700-800.
