D/A for Home Theater

I'm thinking of using my G5 as a server from my home theater.

Of course my 896 will be tied to the studio which will be powered by my Intel Mac Book Pro.

Any recommendations for the best sounding D/A's that would take the fiber optic from the G5?

Low, mid & high budget suggestions welcomed.

benchmark dac-1 or lavry da10 both get high marks all over. under a grand. the lavry da10 is the one ive got my eye on.

i do think some audiophile types use these two in their home music systems.

I use my Apogee MiniDAC for this very reason..... I have Verizon FIOS for internet and will be switching to their television service next month. I'm having them run a special router direct to my studio to get a complete digital path all the way to my door.... on Comcast digital (err analog, yet they call it digital--don't get it!) it sounds good, it can only get better.
