Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound?

@auxinput: I feed my W4s DAC2 with a PS Audio PWT via the I2S connection which is very warm and analog sounding. Several audiobuds have listened extensively to my set up and have made the same comment. Preamp and amps are tubed, though, so perhaps that helps.

By the way, have you actually listened to one of these DACs, or is this a case of an opinion based on words and not on ears?

In the under $1000 category .. Schiit Bifrost Multibit.

No Lampizator mentioned yet. Great and rare blend of warmth and resolution. Go vol control straight to amp. Or pre to add more warmth, if that’s your thing. But imo the DACs really shine straight to amp. 

@jriggy  yes!!!!! i should have mentioned the Lampi Amber II at a wee bit over $2k new is hyper good....
