Dac that produces music

I have been researching the following dacs

metrum hex
yamamoto Yda 1
aqua la voce
audiomat 2.5

i am not looking for hyper detail, but just top to bottom easy listening with good extension especially the bass to be resolved and having impact.
Not a fan of sterile digital sound

which of the above dacs is superior or better do you have s better model to look at?

I am a cheapskate when it comes to buying stereo stuff. 
I try to get the as much sound quality without spending an arm and a leg.
So, I would ask that you consider the Schiit line of DAC's. 
The cost to performance ration is excellent, and some models can be upgraded in the future.

I own the Schiit Bifrost Multibit DAC, I also own a McCormack DAC (not upgraded). 
As a SMc fan, I hate to say the Schiit is better, very clean sounding as well as musical. The McCormack is no slouch, either( I am hoping to send it in this summer for some upgrades).
The McCormack is priced a little more than the Schiit ($800 used, to $650 new).
