Looking for a digital front end...


I'm trying to find an inexpensive (under $1K) digital front end for GMA 1.5 speakers and a Rogue Tempest Magnum integrated amp. I'll probably upgrade in the future, but for now, I'm trying to go as inexpensive as possible. I like smooth, detailed sound, with good pace, slam and bass. I listen to jazz, heavy metal, rock, funk, trip-hop, electronic, bluegrass... you get the picture. I'm intrigued by the Jolida 100 and the Tjoeb, but don't know if they are what I'm looking for. Any thoughts & suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How about a used dac/transport/ic combo? There's a lot of Theta stuff available on here. Any thoughts on this?
By the way, I have a Toshiba DVD player I might be able to use as a transport, but I'm not sure how well that would work.
