Best DAC for MacMini Under $1000

Currently I'm running my MacMini through a Musical Fidelity vLink and vDac - which has huge presence but also in your face harshness. I've also run MacMini via vLink to my Cambrige Audio player (with upsampling) which is like listening with a pillow over your head.

And finally, I'm running the MacMini via home network through a Bel Canto integrated with built it dac which sounds incredible, smooth, detailed, and full body to boot.

Looking for ideas on stand alone Dac $1000 or less to run between MacMini, Belles preamp and Martin Logans.

Suggestions?

If it's gonna be the Bel Canto, it won't be $1,000 for sure.

It would be in the area of over $6K if you want the DAC3.5MKII, VBS with either the uLink or the REFlink, if you need USB.

Life is cruel, isn't it?
