Dac that produces music

I have been researching the following dacs

metrum hex
yamamoto Yda 1
aqua la voce
audiomat 2.5

i am not looking for hyper detail, but just top to bottom easy listening with good extension especially the bass to be resolved and having impact.
Not a fan of sterile digital sound

which of the above dacs is superior or better do you have s better model to look at?

I would add the EAR and Aesthetix DACs to your audition list.

Chord Hugo.  Read the info on the manufacturers web site.  Read the reviews.  It's all true.  Buy one and enjoy.

I am a cheapskate when it comes to buying stereo stuff. 
I try to get the as much sound quality without spending an arm and a leg.
So, I would ask that you consider the Schiit line of DAC's. 
The cost to performance ration is excellent, and some models can be upgraded in the future.

I have the Yamamoto YDA-1 and it is anything but sterile, I find it colorful and organic and lively sounding. A real joy to listen to if you are ok with a single input.
