Recommend me a DAC for 300

What is the best DAC I can get around $300? The rest of my system is NAD C160/C270 and a pair of B&W DM604. Although not a requirement by any means, it would be nice if it blended in with the rest of the system in terms of appearance. I was considering the Cambridge Audio dacmagic?

Thanks!! :)

I've owned two below your budget, the Valab at @$200and the Nuforce uDAC @$100. Both sounded good and I actually preferred the uDAC. Two others in your price range to research and listen to if you can are the Beresford and the Musical Fidelity V-DAC.

Maybe the CAL Sigma II (one 12AX7 tube) or the CAL Alpha (two 12AX7) for a bit more.
