Looking for a good DAC under $500

I would like to set up a DAC with my Bluesound node 2. Anyone has what they consider a "Best Buy"?

I appreciate your time,

This looks pretty good for around $500 no affiliation with the seller....... https://www.audiogon.com/listings/da-converters-factory-refurbished-2017-11-08-digital-ca78801c-1b9e...
