A warm DAC?


Help me pair a DAC with my Prima Luna integrated, Focal 1038 be and PS Audio Perfect Wave transport...Speakers are quite detailed. Looking to level out the high end. Prefer analog warmth. No interest in streaming, expect to use for CD play only...budget $2500.

Went from a Schiit Gungnir Multibit (R2R chip) to a Lampizator Amber 3 (DS chip + tubes) and it does everything so much better. I was shocked by the improvement having heard only small differences between dacs before. And I used to be a stickler for R2R. Not sure how it measures but it sounds incredible. And yes it did smooth out the top end without taking away detail and clarity (if not adding more).

Point being that you should focus on the sound, functions you require, and synergy with your other gear ... instead of underlying tech (or lack thereof).
Larseand,
    I have a PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube DAC. It is definitely on the warmer side. PM me if you are interested in more info. 
I would second the R2R path. I recently did a post comparing Denafrips AresII with a Topping. I guess I cannot definitely say it is the fact that it was an R2R, but I would describe the sound as producing more natural sounding instruments.  Not sure what is meant by warm but if it's analog and natural or palpable, this DAC did that, for me.
@arafiq , good points , +1.  And even if one was present at the session, your recall of the sound in the studio or venue will color your expectations....
"Warm" is, unfortunately, another vague term.  If you want a 'warm' sound from a digital source, one could 'back their DAC' to a SET, and feed it to some Maggies'.
If that's not enough, one may have to place the DAC on a table top plate warmer....
"A man has to know his limitations...."  The same for audioanything....

Cheers, and good luck, J
Prism Sound Callia.  Warmth with detail and texture while retaining good air.
