Rshad,
If you like Ric's work, you may be interested in his mod'd Gustard X20 DAC. Would come in way below your budget. If you haven't yet, take a look at his website and see if it is something that might interest you. I don't own one, but I would consider it if I were in the market for a do everything DAC.
