Read many a good thing about the Topping D30 and D50 but those have not been described as being "warm" but "detailed".
I agree completely with what's been written about subjective reviews above. Also, a competently designed DAC is meant to be transparent, without a sonic signature of its own.
According to the DSP suite I use on my media player, if I want a "warm" sound its engineers offered a preset that boost the lower frequencies from ~280Hz downwards by 8 dB, while gradually rolling off the highs starting at 10Khz, and slamming them to the floor at 16Khz and above - I never use it...
