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.

I have a Audio-gd DAC and I like dealing direct with this company. Their customer service responses are timely, within 24 hrs, friendly, and they offer custom options with some gear.
