Bluetooth audio quality is generally not great...

I'm not convinced you need or want a DAC. As PAR mentioned, USB audio from a smartphone isn't always as straight forward as one might think, especially on Android phones.

IMHO, and in your price range, I bet you'll get noticeably improved sound with a buffer or headphone amp. And yes, use it to drive the input of your receiver / amplifier.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with these devices in the sub-$100 range although there are dozens on eBay and Amazon.
