Balanced DAC under $300.00 (US$)

Getting back on topic …

If you’re not aesthetically sensitive (by which I mean you’re okay with “Ugly as sin; looks like it might have been built in a shed … in the dark …”), then the Ross Martin PCM 1794A DAC is also worth considering.

It’s probably closest to the Cambridge Audio DAC Magic+ in terms of signature (I like the Wolfson 874x series chips those used). It doesn’t have USB input. But it was an enjoyable listen.
