Choosing my first DAC!

Hello there. I'm planning to buy my first DAC for my hi-fi set. It will be hooked to a low-power tube amp (Unison's Simply Italy) and play mostly jazz, classical and acoustic rock from a CD / SACD player, a Hi-Res media player (Fiio X5) and -ups!- a Chromecast Audio -so I'll need optical and coaxial inputs. My budget is, say, under 500 bucks. After a bit of research, I've narrowed my options to these four:

1) Peachtree DAC-It
2) Schiit Bifrost (with 4490 upgrade).
3) Teac UD-301.
4) Nad 1050.

Help, anyone? Any advice will be very very welcome!
