Emmm ... how you think your current system doing both soft music and vocal so far? warm and emotional enough? and your current CDP model? If possible you go borrow mr. ccschua's ZERO dac for audition LOL That's usually how modern dac chip sounds like, see it's match your expectation, if it still sounds too bright for you, you gotta go for lower bit DAC 
higher bit DAC doesn't really mean it will be bright.i had heard some 24bit DAC with a lot of detail, yet very neutral sound.most DAC i test has very less characteristic on bright / warm. but different detail / spatial / accuracies when it come across different type of DAC/ different bit rate DAC.
from what i recall, there are some 24bit DAC sounds warm too, but that i will put it into catogories of "not so good" design DAC as it has too strong characteristic, which in the end, imho it's a compromise by creating special taste to suit certain customer taste within lowest budget, not quite an all rounder.
my suggestion is. since u loved the audiolab. go ahead. as audiolab is a proper designed DAC. as compared to lower budget DIY class DAC .
