Luxman owners

I bought a used Luxman M-10X amp and C-900U  preamp. I am now in search for a dac that will jell with these components. Something that is neutral but not bright. I’m hoping to find something in the $4000 to $5000 range new or used.
What dac are you luxman owners using?

TIA For any help given.

@starboard I could not use a warm DAC with your 2 Luxman pieces. Though some people like that.

Congrats on that gear. After a recent demo. I have my eyes on a m10x in my distant future. The 3 DACs that I will use with the m10x are the 

  • Schitt Yggi+ OG (not available anymore, the MIB is the replacement)
  • Schitt Yggi+ LIM
  • Benchmark DAC3B

I know these 3 will work well with the m10x because they work well with the CODA #16 that I have. The LIM DAC is the warmest of the trio and it is at the border of acceptability for me with the CODA #16. I 'upgraded" to the neutral OG for the warm CODA #16 amp and love it. Most people would likely choose the LIM given those 3 options.

I use a Denafrips Terminator 2 with my Luxman 509x and Dali Epicon 8 speakers.  Absolutely delightful.
