Kira,
I use a Denon 2930ci (when they show up, this one will fit your budget) as a transport to a P.S Audio Digital Link III DAC,through a Monarchy DIP and enjoy great results.
I mass load the tops of the Denon and DAC and suspend them on hand balls...yep, hand balls.....works mighty fine for me.
Good luck! John
