Best Used DAC for 1000?

Looking for recommendations for used DAC for my PD 65 Pioneer CD player. Budget is $1000 but would like to spend less if possible to improve sound quality of dacs in the 65. Thank you for your help and input.

(it did not have the mods....but shame on them for not making it right to begin with imo). birdland gave me a more analog sound. anyway i am running it with an old pioneer combo laser/dvd/cd machine. very satisfying. better than my cal 15 too! fwiw jim
