A warm DAC?


Help me pair a DAC with my Prima Luna integrated, Focal 1038 be and PS Audio Perfect Wave transport...Speakers are quite detailed. Looking to level out the high end. Prefer analog warmth. No interest in streaming, expect to use for CD play only...budget $2500.

I would highly recommend Aqua Voce. I had similar objective to smoothen a bit my Magico S5 and this DAC did a brilliant job.
Dear larseand, since you already own a PS Audio PW transport I've no doubts in suggesting you to pair it witha very musical, transparent, detailed but still really pleasant Direct Stream dac. I own that couple and they are probably the only fixed point in my system. 

It will be a perfect match for your Focal and you can use it as a preamp as well as it has an accurate voulme control and a lot of digital inputs, moreover if you should acquire any interest in files streaming in the future, you can add the bridge module.

I run a pair of Primaluna Dialogue 7’s with Tannoy xt8f speakers. I have RME Adi-2 DAC. Works great. I have been very happy with the sound.
Some toilet paper covering the tweeter will do it. If you want to change the sound I recommend the Roon eq.
