The Bel Canto DAC 1.1 can normally be had around $500 and the DAC 2 for a bit over $800. Also, the Perpetual Technologies P-3A is fairly good with a few modifiations for less than $500.

Best Inexpensive DAC
In the last 12 months I have mananged to purchase a used ML27.5, used ML38S and a new pair of Thiel 2.4. I am broke, but I can't stand listening to my old Denon CD player form 1992. I do have a coax digital out on the unit, so I thought of purchasing an interim inexpensive DAC to get me by until I can get something a little better. Any suggestions?
