A warm DAC?

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.

McIntosh d150. Very smooth. 

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.

Why no interest in streaming if you are already playing CDs? Imagine having access to 250,000 CDs, many of them remastered, and/or with a higher resolution than CD.
