DAC's Made in the USA


I am shopping for my very first dac and the sheer number of product available is bewildering.Unlike many members, I have never owned an outboard dac for a 2 channel system, my budget is extremely limited and my technical knowledge of the product is low.
Further I am committed to purchase a dac made in the USA, or at least a friendly democratic country. 
You can see by my equipment list that I have nothing of any great quality or renown and much of this inventory is likely to be sold to partially pay for the dac. 
I am 80 years old, wear hearing aids and I am pretty satisfied with the sounds I presently hear and really wonder if I can enhance the sound quality of my CD collection (Jazz, blues and classical). 
Would appreciate it if I can get some real help, i.e., people who have actually used their recommendation/not read about it.  Also please remember my spending limitation, more is impossible.
Many thanks

HerbReichert thanks for posting here,I do own the Ares original it does sound very good.i have not heard the II , For tha Op I like the orchid, black ice dac too, Schiit gungnir I Have is excellent.
Thanks to all for providing your valuable input.I have decided to try either the Schiit Bifrost or Gungnir, made in USA, by far the brand most often mentioned and well within my wallets wheelhouse.Sincere thanks again for your help.

I haven't heard the dacs under consideration, but I would like to suggest that you consider tvad's suggestion. I've heard enough equipment he's previously commented on to know he has trustworthy ears (at least if you hear like me)...
