DAC with volume control under $250

I have a friend asking for a DAC, equipped with volume control, he could connect to his Airport Express via optical (mini toslink).
The budget is pretty tight, only $250.
Is there anything out there to fit this tight bill?
Thank you very much.

Matrix Mini-i on ebay.Pretty good for the money and balanced outputs too if you need them as well as a headphone amp.

Check out Grant Fidelity's DAC-09 or DAC-11.

Never heard it but it fits the budget. Emotiva XDA-1 with 5 year warranty.

A used Sony SDP-EP9ES would do the trick.
