Dac that produces music

I have been researching the following dacs

metrum hex
yamamoto Yda 1
aqua la voce
audiomat 2.5

i am not looking for hyper detail, but just top to bottom easy listening with good extension especially the bass to be resolved and having impact.
Not a fan of sterile digital sound

which of the above dacs is superior or better do you have s better model to look at?

I have the Yamamoto YDA-1 and it is anything but sterile, I find it colorful and organic and lively sounding. A real joy to listen to if you are ok with a single input.

DACs do not produce music.
Record labels do.

+1 for Schiit dacs(multibit models). Among members of our local audio group more have been impressed enough after multiple listening sessions to buy Schiit dacs than any other brand/component except perhaps VPI turntables. For many formerly mainly LP listeners, we now can relax and enjoy digital playback at a level not commonly experienced before. Cheers,
