any cheap DAC for my Airport Express?

i am looking for a cheap DAC for my future stereo setup:
powerbook-->airport express(digital out)---> A CHEAP DAC----->sonic t-amp--->speakers(moniter audio bronze s2, or maybe b&w 602)

is there anything below $200? new or used, and i am mostly a classical music listner.

thank you.

Bndtracey - You need a good DAC to improve sound quality and to reduce jitter.

I highly recommend Benchmark DAC1 to go with airport express. I have great success in this combination.
