DAC for entry level system

Hello,
I have an entry level system.
Speakers: Vienna acoustics Bach.
Plinius 8100 integrated amp.
Arcam CD72 player.
Logitech squeesbox touch.
I would like to buy a DAC to my system(prefer used to get more for the money), but I don’t know what price level of DAC will get me much better result compare to the internal DAC that I have now in the Arcam and the Logitec. Will(example of price groups) $179 HRT music steamer II will do it? Or $379 Musical fidelity V-DAC MKII, or $649 Simaudio 100D, or $995 Rega dac.
Thanks.
bedel

I have the Cambridge Audio dacmagic and haven't heard anything that trumps it except the naim DAC, but I did a serious upgrade to the power supply.

Dacmagic 2 also doubles as a headphone amp and up samples to 24/384

Another good one is the schiit bifrost - well built, upgradable and built in America.

And finally there is the zdac, which has received good reviews, but I've never heard one (sadly)

Hope this helps
