A DAC that can make digital sound analog?

As one who still listens to TTs, I would recommend a latest tech "DAC+ regenerator/re-clocker/ reviver, etc combo" —which is what I was loaned by a dealer trading-in my trusty old PS Audio PW....
To my ears (analogue, remember) the sound is excellent: very open and detailed, not harsh - i.e. not "digital" - excellent dynamic punch, powerful bass and a great sense of "air", hence, three-dimensionality. The 2-box combo I was loaned comes under the unlikely names of "Master-time" reclocker / regenerator, etc, & "Ayazi Mk-2" no less (DAC)* and is probably inexpensive as hi-end things go.
My digital front-end is either a PC/ MusiChi or Mac/ Audirvana. Currently looking for inexpensive cables to improve upon the bog-stard usb stuff.
Anyway, this combo works so I’m guessing regeneration is good for the dac?

Ayre CODEX. It has the warmth and relaxed presentation similar to vinyl. New, goes for $2000. Used between $1200-$1350.

Get some 96k/192k FLAC rips of vinyl records and see if you get your DAC setup to play analog sound.  I did that and am very convinced that it's the surface noise and dynamic headroom limitation that gives me all the perceived warmth and depth of analog recordings.  Boy do I sound blasphemous now.

I'd do a two-week trial of an SW1X DAC.  Everything I've heard from owners of these DACs implies a very organic and 3D sound I associate with vinyl.  Hey, they offer an in-home trial with very little financial risk (just shipping).  AND, it sounds like you can speak with the designer and he actually responds and cares!!!  Frankly, if you try one I doubt it's going back based on comments from owners.  Best of luck in whatever you decide.
