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

The CJ ($2k)is out of production as is the MSB Analog ($7-10k)
the Ayre QB-9 can be found ...$2k even less for non dsd
pandora w CD is a Romulus
pandora new is about $6k
sig $8k ish
the Lami you got right, I stole mine lightly used for $1,400 w Tube power supply
ARC would be DAC3-DAC8 with used prices all over map...
the Ayre Codex delivers a lot of value 

Audio Note...any of them.

ARC?  What is this, a company, a DAC model?  Can't find anything on it, except there is a company named ARC Audio which seems to be all about automobile audio.

Audio Note shows a bunch of DACs on its website, but with no detailed information on any of them, including price.  Why are so many models needed?  Not explained.  Not doubting the quality of the DACs.

Thanks!

I believe ARC is Audio Research their new model is a DAC 9. 

I havd found that wolfson dacs have a smooth/warm sound. I have never heard it but I notice the Rega you listed uses wolfson.
