Outboard DAC for DVD and CD

I've been 'out of audio' for about seven years doing 'family stuff'. I'm trying to catch up with digital technology. Is there DAC's out there that I could hook my DVD player's audio outs to that would also convert regular CD signal? I would like to keep it under $2000. If not, if you had $1K-$2k to spend on an outboard DAC are you better to spend that on the latest generation new or a used Levinson or Wadia? Thanks for your help.

I use a Bel Canto DAC1 with a Pioneer DV 525 as a transport with great pleasure. There are others like MSB, Perpetual Tech, etc... that can be used as well. Here are some links to some reviews that might give you some ideas, or at least things to ponder. These all concern the DAC1. Good luck, Charlie
