DAC for Sonos Connect

Looking for a low cost DAC for my Sonos Connect, to be used primarily for casual listening to Tidal. Will connect with coax. Thinking about $300 used. I am aware of the limitations of Sonos, but with CD and lp as primary sources, I use Sonos for casual listening to Tidal and not willing to do all the upgrades. Hoping to find a DAC that is a particularly good match for this purpose. Thanks.

$300 No problem. I'm using Parasound ZDAC on my Sonos for the last 2 years, sounds beautiful on all kind of music.
Asynchronous sample rate conversion for all inputs including the USB input.

I'd look for a used PS Audio Digital Link 3. It's got a nice, big sound that I've found pairs nicely with streaming services.

I'm using a Transparent Audio Premium coax, and remain quite happy with the sound.
