Question about neutrality and transparency in an amp

No digital system I am aware of can sound rich and warm in a natural way. It might one day but not yet. He was kidding. Adding tube amp in the middle may help create this illusion, but it is what it is - an illusion. 

As others have stated, it’s too soon to hear the true sonic signature of your system. In the end, your amp may end up with neutral sonics, but the dynamics and depth will have opened up.
I also agree that the Dynaudio Focus line has warm, full-bodied sonics. You’ll need some time to break-in the speakers.

And realise that the brand and type of cables used can influence the warmth and every other aspect of sound.

@echobase, I have owned a couple CDP's that I would say sounded rich and warm. My Marantz SA-11S1 with Ultimate Tube mod by pcX, and a BAT VK-D5SE. Yes, both had tubes in them, perhaps that is a common theme. Though I have heard other Marantz CDP's without tubes sound full bodied and smooth too.

I have also owned analog gear that was very neutral and revealing. Lyra cartridges, Walker Audio phono stages, and Basis turntables specifically.

You have to understand that neutral and colorless on it's own is not necessarily a bad thing. We all try to balance a system with enough neutrality and warmth to suit our own personal tastes. I have heard systems that were too revealing for my tastes, just as I have heard systems that were too warm for my tastes. It's just a matter of balance.

I agree with Jmcgrogan2, some analog front ends can certainly sound clinical,sterile and threadbare. There are digital sources that can provide an organic/natural warmth and tonal richness. Either analog or digital can sound excellent or very poor. I just don’t find the old stereotypes of both genres to be true or useful when one has quality components and a well constructed synergistic audio system. I agree with Inna’s comment that theres a difference between colored and colorful. Live unamplified music is colorful, vibrant and has an innate richness.
Charles,

Ladder dacs can sound warm and rich. Examples would be the Teradac Chamelion And the Audio-GD dacs using the 1704 chip
