Need a DAC Recommendation.

Im retired and can only spend $1200 to $1500 on a DAC. What would you recommend? I assume I will be in the Used market. Thanks!

Chord do their own DAC chip it is the closest I can get my streaming to my $4k vinyl rig plus it allows USB, bnc coax and optical inputs... It also has further filters to subtly adjust the sound if your set up to analytical for your taste.
