Looking for a good DAC under $500

I would like to set up a DAC with my Bluesound node 2. Anyone has what they consider a "Best Buy"?

I appreciate your time,

I have owned it for about a month now and it is the third DAC i have owned and by far the best, read the reviews. OK, it's a Cambridge DacMagic Plus. The price is $350 on Amazon and do get the optional BT100 so you can wireless stream to it, that adds another $75, so $425 total. It's not an extreme "Hi End" component but as a number of reviews state, it should spank anything in the price range you mention, Happy listening!

Does anyone know where to obtain one and what the $$ is? Can you describe what a good LPS does for the sound? Thanks!
