any cheap DAC for my Airport Express?

i am looking for a cheap DAC for my future stereo setup:
powerbook-->airport express(digital out)---> A CHEAP DAC----->sonic t-amp--->speakers(moniter audio bronze s2, or maybe b&w 602)

is there anything below $200? new or used, and i am mostly a classical music listner.

thank you.

Besy bet would be to find a Theta Digital Cobalt DAC. Great sound!

You should also be on the lookout for a used Assemblage DAC 2. . .this was the piece of gear that got me started in high end (and still resides in one of my systems, being fed by a 5 disc carousel and yes, an Airport Express).

I'm somewhat confused. Why do you need a DAC? I have an airport extreme connected to my iMac that acts as my broadcast router. Then, I have airport express at each amp/receiver (three in the house) that plugs in to either a digital or analogue input.
