Cheap external DAC for DVD player



I have never used an external DAC and would like to hook one up to the digital outputs my Panasonic 47S DVD player.

1) Can I hook the digital out from my DVD player to an external DAC and then in turn to my 2 channel preamp to play CDs?

2) And use the DVD players analogue outputs to the preamp for watching movies. Or would I still use the external DAC for movies?

Does this make sense.
Is there a benefit to do this with a $110 DVD player and will I get good CD playback doing this?

Which cheap DAC to get?
Scott Nixon or others.

...or should I just get the Oppo 970 and be done with it.

On reccomendation from fellow Audiogoners, I purchased a Paradisea DAC made by MHDT labs. ONly available direct from Taiwan via Ebay for $500

It performs VERY well
