What is the best used sub-$500 DAC?

I know the answer depends on many things, but I'd like to see how people respond without my particular preferences or system details/conditions. Thanks!

Plenty of good reviews and fans of it here. But then I have not heard a lot of DAC's except I can say it sounds a lot better richer, deeper soundstage than my source unit's built in processors.
