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.

After living with several DACs in the past 10+ years I have never, ever, enjoyed my CDs, new and old, like I do now. Soundstage, extension, great bass, warm but not molasses, sweet top end.

I haven't posted much but have been following the Agon Forums for some time.  I too have been thinking about upgrading my Peachtree DAC itx.  
I know this question may start a crap storm but I'm curious to ask those that believe if two DAC's measure the same then they should sound the same then how do you feel about interconnects?  
Do you feel that all cables of decent quality sound the same?
No, I'm not trolling or trying to change the subject.  
This question goes out specifically to djones and dougeyjones.  I'm truly curious because I have been thinking of upgrading/changing my cables as well. Most of my cables are DH Labs BL-1 interconnects but as I added more pieces to my system I have more of a mix of cables some that are no-name brands I got from ebay that were supposedly audiophile quality.

My system right now consists of a Rogue Audio Model 99 Pre with NOS tubes, McCormack DNA 0.5 Power amp, JVC XL-Z1050 CD Player used as a transport to the Peachtree DAC itx.  I also have an Oppo BD-103 for SACD playback, Technics SL1200 GR turntable and PBN DP Speakers.
The Rogue has a built-in phono stage with NOS tubes and I also use a Lounge Audio Copla for MC playback.  
What you’re looking for is a Meridian DAC The most tubelike SS DAC out there. To get the best out of it, cabling is critical however, I have an 808 but the ultra DAC is very similar & likely better still. There’s literally no more musical DAC - but not coloured. Very detailed as well. Arguably the MSB DACs & a few others are excellent too but as for musicality (w/o sacrificing much if any in the way of detail), it cannot be beaten. Please don’t take my word for it. Go listen for yourself. Read the Stereophile review for starters >

The DCS Rossini he mentions may be accurate but not nearly as musical having a whitish sound (I heard it with the optional clock). When you listen to it, make sure it’s with other than Meridian cables & of the highest quality. The better Kimber & Nordost Tyr or above work well.
