Music Hall vs. Schiit

I plan to purchase a DAC to pair with a Cambridge Audio CXC transport. Presently I am considering the Schiit Modi 3, Music Hall 15.2 or the Music Hall 25.3 DACs. Since I am looking for a warmer analog sound, I would appreciate your thoughts on these units.
I might add that I currently am running a Audio Research SP16 tube preamp, a Bryston 14B SST power amp & Paradigm Sig 7 speakers.
Thank you so much.

who designs music halls DAC's?

 Mike Moffit at Schitt Audio is one of the founders of ADC-DAC's? Schitts stuff is upgradable too to the multibit version. that's the way i'd go if it was my money.

I'd recommend the Modi multibit for warm, analog sound.

I read a couple of tech reviews on the Schiit Modi Multibit which were quite disparaging.

Only because it doesn't measure as well as some other DACs on the market. But that doesn't always tell the whole story
