Best DAC for MacMini Under $1000


Currently I'm running my MacMini through a Musical Fidelity vLink and vDac - which has huge presence but also in your face harshness. I've also run MacMini via vLink to my Cambrige Audio player (with upsampling) which is like listening with a pillow over your head.

And finally, I'm running the MacMini via home network through a Bel Canto integrated with built it dac which sounds incredible, smooth, detailed, and full body to boot.

Looking for ideas on stand alone Dac $1000 or less to run between MacMini, Belles preamp and Martin Logans.

Suggestions?

There is a Centrance DacMini here on Agon for sale, I've used one for almost a year with my MacMini, they pair up well physically. Highly recommended.
Schiit Gungnir. Buy it, listen in your home for 15 days, if you don't like it, you pay 5% restocking charge. $750 without USB, $850 with. I just bought one and think it's a great value.
And, there a demo Ultra Fi DAC-41 up for auction with a reserve of $700. This is the next generation from designer Larry Moore.

Nothing in it, just a satisfied customer.
tranquility dac se. great analog sounding dac . just did a 4 dac shootout . the tranquility was my favorite regardless of cost .
the metrum octave can be had just above your price point new or a bit below used (if you can find one). it's an absolutely astounding DAC for the money.
