The best DAC for the money

I'm thinking to buy a DAC, but not really sure which one to choose... Preferable with HDCD decoding, and reasonable price... You name it

System
Source: NAD c541i
Amp: Sim Moon i-5 integrated
Speakers: Revel M20
Cables: AZ Satori, etc...

Try the new Benchmark Media DAC-1. List price $850.
I've not heard it yet but the review seems impresive. Check it out before you commit.

I think the Musical Fidelity X/DAC HDCD is amazing,
and not just because it goes for about $200 used!

If you don't need 24/96, I would recommend a used Theta Gen Va.
