help me pick a DAC to go w/ Manley Stingray

hi guys, i picked up a Manley Stingray integrated tube amp and i'm looking for a <$1000 DAC to go with it.

i'm thinking about getting the dacmagic to save money, but was curious what people thought.. should i spring for a dac1 or something more expensive?

if anyone owns a manley amp, that'd be very helpful too

no USB needed, optical input only

thanks
