I'd get one of the Sony high end Blue ray-multi disc players I got one last year and I'm quite pleased with it, there are a few models avail in your price range. The one i got doesn't have a DAC in it though but there is the next level one that does so you have some flexibility there. If your feeding a HT system that has a DAC in it then you can save some money there.
UBP-X800 is similar to the one I got last year but with audio out as well as digital. HDR as well.
Mine has very good picture quality ( 70" 4k TV).
