Don't try to make your life harder. After-DAC filtering of a signal is realy what counts in digital gear and spending $1k for it will be an "overkill".
Get an active filter Musical Fidelity X-10 for near $100 used and spear the rest for amp preamp or speaker upgrade.
Also don't pay any attention whether it upsamples or not. To me it's better not or at least have an upsampler switchable.
As to Cabridge D500SE I loved it myself and for its price it's a real high-end sleeper that sounds very close to (I know someone is going to kill me for such but...) Capitole indeed!
