Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch

I'm new to digital since buying a Squeezebox Touch a few months ago. The Touch is connected to an external USB hard drive that contains cd ripped Flac files. I'm looking to buy a DAC for around $1k from the SB Touch and connect it to my Sim I-7. I'm considering the Moon 100D and the Wyred4sound Dac1 based on some reviews and comments in various forums. I might consider increasing my budget to possibly the 300D and Dac2 if it would make a substantial difference.

I'm using an mhdt Constantine that I paid less than $400 for used and the sound is absolute top notch.

I am using the Berkeley Audio DAC with my Touch. I have the Touch going into the Esoteric G25U upsampler/clock - now, that's a nice upgrade. CIA power supply as well but thinking of the Boulder.

I have the Bolder power supply and the digital upgrade. The Power supply is about equal to the digital mod upgrade in terms of performance improvement.
