$400 is a bit steep, I was thinking around $150-$200, but I'd go a bit over $200 if there was an amp/dac at a fantastic value around that price range.
At the moment hardly any stereo receivers/amps have optical inputs. I know this probably isn't the right question here, but is there an issue using a 5.1 receiver in a standard 2.0 setup? I want great sound quality, but I don't think my Energy C-100's require a $400 amp, ya know? If I'd get the same quality from a 5.1 receiver for $250 or so I might just go that route.
