Dac recommendations for Mac Book Pro

I am interested in upgrading my Beresford Dac. I am currently using the optical port from the Mac. I use the Cayin A-50t as amplification and Merlin TSM-MX. My budget is $1000 for new or used. I am looking for a Dac with a smooth character. I am not interested in hyper- detail. Some of the Dacs on my list are the Stello Da 100 S, Apogee Mini dac, MHDT Havana. Is there a preferred port to use? I have a firewire port and USB 2.0.
Thanks,Bob

I am currently researching the Apogee Duet. I have read some good things about it on Headfi.org. An A/B test concluded that it was on par with the Mini Dac. I would like some more opinions from those that have used the Duet. The reviews that I have read say that it is neutral sounding,which will be fine for my system but I am worried about the top end. If it is at all tipped up in the treble I know that I won't like it.

Thanks for the replies.
