Sub-$500 DAC to pair with Burson Soloist SL Mk II?

[Winston67]

Can anyone recommend a DAC for under $500 that would pair well with a Burson Soloist SL Mk II and a pair of HD650s? Thanks.

Not sure about the 650s, but I have a used Soloist Mk II and it's paired with a used Cambridge Audio DacMagic (one of their older offerings) and they seem to get along alright. I use Audioquest Nighthawks, HD598 burls, and B+W P7s and they all run decently.

Hope this helps a little...

I've head the JDS Labs EL DAC is superbly transparent.
