I have a WiiM Ultra streamer/DAC and think it is fantastic for the money, which is well under your budget cap. And you can buy it on Amazon which offers free returns if it doesn't float your boat. For me, it falls in the "there is no reason not to try" catagory.
Digital Advice
Looking to replace my Denon 2900 which is very old and having more problems.
Option #1DAC and Mac (I already own)
Option #2 Stand-alone Streamer DAC
For digital I play CD’s to the 2900.
Many but not all my CDs have been ripped to the Mac.
Goal is to stream music to HIFI system & play legacy CDs.
I stream Amazon Music HD, on my Mac and mobile devices.
My budget is $600.
