Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K


Need recommendations. Warm, lush and dark Dac. Big sounding and romantic please! Would consider a budget one too, ie from $500.00.

Thanks much.

Have a look at Darko Dac Index at http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/the-darko-dac-index/, warm ,lush ,and dark are literary examples he commonly uses in reviews.

I have a Audio-gd DAC and I like dealing direct with this company. Their customer service responses are timely, within 24 hrs, friendly, and they offer custom options with some gear.
 
Do any of these DACs do MQA? I'd like the same qualities with a MQA-ready DAC.

P.S. Thanks, lowrider57, for the reference.


Boarder Patrol DAC SE is a great DAC, not harsh or bright at all, sounds great with just about everything.  
Kclose,

My brother owns the older version of Gary's BP DAC which I happen to have on loan here at the house.

Have you had a chance to audition both the older and SE editions side by side? (probably not but thought I'd ask).
