Thanks for the reply.
That was about the price range I found too, and those are filled with unnecessary features for someone that needs a minimalist setup; pity.
DIY sounds interesting, but the only way DIY seems worth it is if there's a way to sort of mod a current market DAC with an ethernet bridge. That is, a DIY version should have a real simple signal path: ethernet, buffer, i2s, reclock, DAC. Throwing USB and/or spdif into that path seems like a step backwards (IMO).
