Best DAC for 27" iMac

Hello everyone! I have a question I'm sure somebody can answer for me.
I have a 27"iMac with my entire music collection on there. I have my speakers hooked up through my Sony DA4ES Receiver via interconnects and a Y-Splitter
I want to get the most out of my audio for music listening purposes. I know the next thing that will improve my audio the most is getting a DAC. I would like to know which DAC you guys would recommend me to use. I have a budget in mind of $800 or below. I would like the feedback of those who also have an iMac as well to see what their experiences are with a DAC. I'd like to thank everybody who reads this in advance and for their input.

Cheers,
Robin

Robin,

Out of curiosity, at what resolution did you save your music? If you were to use uncompressed (WAV or AIFF) or at least Apple lossless, you will have peace of mind knowing that at least the source material is at full bit depth. It wouldn't make sense to use MP3 or AAC if your pursuit is sound quality.
