DAC Magic or MF V-DAC?

Second system consists of Wadia 170i Ipod transport to analog tube integraded amp (PrimaLuna Prologue Two).
Looking for D/AC in the $500 range. Seems everyone has positive thoughts on both the DAC Magic and MF V-DAC units.
In that price range, am I correct in thinking this is the two logical options? If so, could you steer me in either direction?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
