What DAC will work well with my Rega Planet ov ?

What DAC will work well with my Rega Planet (original version)?

I am really a fan of my original version Rega Planet. I like the design better, and the construction is much better than the new one. I am looking for a little more resolution, more separation, more air... but still desire the full bass and non-fatiguing sound it has. I heard an inexpensive Cambridge Audio D500SE. It was ugly and built like a toy, but sounded really nice. Also non-fatiguing, but with nice air and sound staging that filled the room. Not sure if it up-samples. But it does have a high-res Crystal chip I think. Anyway... anyone know of a DAC to add to my Rega Planet (original version) that will give me the sound qualities I am looking for? Something for under $1k would be great. Thanks.

I liked my planet lots as well, and I agree about the build quality. After an intrim hitch with an ARC CD-2 I returned to the Rega sound and now run a Jupiter 2000 and love it.

Sam Telig of writes in Stereophile of a Musical Fidelity DAC that he runs with his Rega (Jupiter?) that he likes. I believe it was in your price range. Check it out.
