Budget DAC

Now that I have my vinyl collection and audio gear set up, I am now looking to put together a desktop configuration on a budget. Don't have the $$ to spend on a high priced DAC so I am looking for some suggestions. I would like to spend around $500 for the DAC. It will be paired up with Monitor Audio BX2 speakers,NAD C326 Integrated Amp and Digital Storm desktop.

I have looked at MusicHall, Cambridge Audio, Arcam etc. Also did research on PSAudio, DBLabs, Stello, Rega etc. Would like 24bit/192kHz and a USB option. Thank you for your help/guidance.

I'm with Jax2 on this. You can do a lot of research or get the PS Audio DLIII and be done with it.
That's what I did anyway. It was my second choice, but I got tired of waiting for my first choice. Very happy with the PS Audio and I don't even recall what my first choice was.
