Dac that produces music

+1 for Schiit dacs(multibit models). Among members of our local audio group more have been impressed enough after multiple listening sessions to buy Schiit dacs than any other brand/component except perhaps VPI turntables. For many formerly mainly LP listeners, we now can relax and enjoy digital playback at a level not commonly experienced before. Cheers,

Wired 4 Sound DAC 2 SE.

As with Jond I can vouch for the Yamamoto YDA-1 DAC. Minimal inputs and features but utterly natural sound character and convincing tone and timbre. A pure music lovers DAC.It will effectively convey emotion and soul.
Charles, 

I'd like to know which schitt dacs are being recommended, and how they sound compared to similarly priced dacs!

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).
