A dac1 thats warm? Unless the dac1 pre is significantly different than previous dac1's I'd have to question his definition of "warm". I don't think the dac1 is a bad dac, I just find it to be bright and at times thin.
That function is set under your user cp -> edit options -> message editor interface. If it's set to basic that's why you can't see them, choose one of the other options.
