I see lots of Bel Canto DAC 1 or 1.1 going for around $500 lately. I've never heard one personaly, but I hear from others they are supposed to be good.
Then, there is also the ART DIO smart mod frm boulder cables. that would still be under your budget.
I've got a ART MENSA Plus coming from them soon...can't wait! That is their premier mod and it is only $500 on top of the $130 pricetag of the DIO
