Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K

I think the Electrocompaniet ECD-1 has the sound you'd like. Read all the positive reviews. Very analog sounding. If you're interested, I have one for sale for $1100.00 on another site.

Get a dependable DAC from a reliable company that's not going anywhere, so that in the future you can receive updates, and it should be MQA ready as well. You should demo at least 3-5 of them (there are so many). Good hunting!

The discontinued PS Audio NuWave DSD is available at a great price and has a warm timbre with excellent bass extension. Was $1299, now about $700-800.

Lowrider57, where is the PS Audio NuWave DSD available at that lower price?

@gareneau ,
It looks like most of them have been sold. Some dealer had a few of them for sale last week.
