Looking for used DAC for Squeezebox 700 $

I am looking for a DAC for my Squeezebox Classic. My other components: EPOS M22 speakers, Special amplifier sounds similar to Creek Destiny.

What I need from the DAC:

XLR output (must)
Volume control (nice to have)
warm, airy sound

What I do not need/ what is not important:

- fancy style/look
- usb connectivity
- more than two inputs

What I have found sofar:

Apogee Mini DAC
PS Audio Digital Link III.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Im second the Dacmagic, even though it has USB and more than 1 input. Can't go wrong with this unit.
I have never heard one, but the Bel Canto Dac 2 fits your needs and seems to be a bargain.

some of the older Theta DAC's are nice. We are using a Pro progency A with the squeezebox. These can now be had for 100 - 300 dollars used.

I have used a Bel Canto DAC2 in a similar setup it has both optical and coax inputs (switchable) and has a very smooth sound. They are frequently on A'gon

Love my PS Audio DL III, smooth sound, two different sample rates and balanced out!
