Budget DAC - Have AE D2

I bought an Audioengine D2 in July '12, but my living accommodations have changed and I no longer need the wireless aspect.

The D1 would probably be the easiest answer as I can sell the D2 and have money left over?

I have spent some time familiarizing myself with the Parasound Zdac and this one appears to be a possible upgrade from D1/D2.

Budget is $500(US), but I'm sure I could go to $750 for something long term...

Happy to hear any and all opinions / recommendations / thoughts. I packed up the D2 for sale and the lack of a DAC is palpable...

Here is a budget DAC shootout. It's worth a read anyway.

I had read this prior to posting. These appear to be EURO models? Are these available in USA?
Oh man.
