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.

Consider the audio-gd7 HE 2020 version. If you have a good line conditioner you may not need the HE upgrade and it would fit into your budget. I'm still breaking mine in and after 150 hours in NOS mode, sounds alot like my analog rig. Highly recommended.

That's what great here ....Mr djones51  said if there are two dac one selling for $2,000 and another one for $80,000 that's sound exactly the same he would but the $80,000 because it's a status thing.....WOW  Really $68,000 to burn just because you got it. On a Dac.Is your System on here ?I would like to see it....

If your PL has pre input, consider the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5. The DDP-1 has 4 different settings for the DAC. Excellent sound and value. See March 2016 The Absolute Sound review.
