Do you need a DAC with a preamp/volume control?  If so, that does limit the choices.

How about one that also gives you the option of DSP:

Actually, thinking about it, whether or not you need a "volume" control, I would look at the Gustard DAC-X20 Pro with USB input at $869.  It does have a volume control so that you do not need a preamp in between.

I would check out the RME ADI2-DAC. Also doubles as an excellent head phone amp.
