Best Inexpensive DAC

In the last 12 months I have mananged to purchase a used ML27.5, used ML38S and a new pair of Thiel 2.4. I am broke, but I can't stand listening to my old Denon CD player form 1992. I do have a coax digital out on the unit, so I thought of purchasing an interim inexpensive DAC to get me by until I can get something a little better. Any suggestions?

I'm not quite sure how you define "inexpensive", but I'll toss out a suggestion for what it's worth.

I'm a Birdland dealer, and the now-discontinued Odeon Lite is a very nice little DAC with a volume control. I sold many pairs of $16,000 ballpark Sound Lab electrostats using the $970 list Odeon Lite as my DAC. There are a couple of used units for sale here in the $500 ballpark, which is quite reasonable.
