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

Can anyone name a <popular> DAC that produces a "warm-ish" output?

Just grasping at straws here. Thanks!

I primarily listen to analog. I have a analog bias. The Border Patrol moves digital music closer to analog. Can make a CD sound very nice. I also like my Schiit Yggy - decreased warmth but more detail. These two DAC's have turned me off on my Benchmark, Oppo, and W4s DAC's.
