I'm late to the party here, but the Doge 7 tube DAC is a fantastic option for you. It has a fully balanced tube output stage, giving you the flexibility to roll NOS tubes and make it as warm as you want it.
It sounds really analog for a DAC, it's an absolute giant-killer and I'm surprised it doesn't have more of a following.
