Recommendations on a Warm Sounding DAC under $1100.00

op

suggest you get this and don’t look back (assuming you are in the us)

this one

it will outperform most other units mentioned in this thread, even the higher priced ones lol

if you get it and don’t like it, contact me, i will buy it from you :)

My suggestion is to look above the $2000 range

As the old saying goes, you are certainly free with other people's money!  The OP stated his budget.  That's like someone looking for a $30K car and being belittled because they aren't considering $60K-plus models. 

I have had my Denafrips Pontus II DAC 5 years and it sounds superb using the I2S connection to my Jay’s Audio transport. You may be able to find a used Pontus in your price range. A new Denafrips Ares 15 sells for $1199 if you can stretch your budget a bit. Both are R2R ladder DACS which tend to sound warmer and smoother compared to delta-sigma DACS, and both have I2S connections. That said, I2S compatibility is a crapshoot and I would check with Denafrips prior to making a purchase.

why the HHB CDR830 makes such a good choice for a DAC unit. 

I had a Doge in on trade a while back that I sold for around that price point I think.  It sounded great and was super easy to listen to.  

Alternatively, a used PS Audio or Denafrips will do wonderfully.
