Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC
What DAC are you using now? 
Schiit Yggdrasil vs. Gungnir
The Gungnir Multibit doesn’t have a "knob". It does have a button you press to select various inputs: usb, coax, etc. 
Streamer Recommendation
You don't need to spend a lot of money. Take the Allo DigiOne Player for example. Also Check out the discussions on streamers at Audioasylum.comhttps://darko.audio/2017/08/allos-digione-pulls-five-star-sound-quality-from-the-raspberry-pi/  
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
To reiterate: the Orchid can accept signals up to 24/192 khz, yet still outputs only 16/44 khz. I don't know if everyone gets this. 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
Don't know if the Orchid will be an improvement over the Nuwave DAC, which is an underrated yet excellent DAC. The Orchid is OK but nothing extraordinary or special, IMO, and only outputs 16/44, which may not be a concern of yours. But the only wa... 
Moving up from an Oppo 205
   Whoever recommended the Border Patrol DAC, it hasn't streaming capability. The OP asked for combo DAC/ streamer recommendations.

What's your budget? 
coaxial/spdif to usb converter
Yeah, how much can you afford? Affordability is relative. 
Power cord recommendation for a dac?
Check out Zu Audio Mission MKI power cords on Ebay. You can often get them for less than $50. It’s what I use for my Orchid.  
MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING
Some folks at head-fi.org are using tubes from the ECC88 family. Requires a ECC88 to 6N3/5670 adapter. 
The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up
The Orchid is nice but not anything special. I actually prefer my PS Audio and Gumby dacs, which are more authoritative and precise without having digital brashness. (By the way, the Orchid is in no way brash!).

Where does one get the single crown S1?Last I checked Ebay has some listings. 
The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up
Not crushing at all. If any manufacturer wants a 6Moons review then they must pay 6Moons for it. As for the individual who actually writes the review, and how he/she is paid, I couldn’t care less. 
The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up
mhdt Lab did pay 6Moons for this review. I own the Orchid, as well as Schitt Gumby, and PS Audio PWD Mark II.
