Used Rotel or Arcam is still a good bet. I like the Ring DAC although
the Arcam 9 is about 50% over your budget at Audiogon. It might be worth
it in the long run.

One more question: How important is it to have upsampling for redbook
playback?

It makes it easier to design filters, so most DACs use it in some form.
The new AR CD3 is an exception that shows it isn't absolutely necessary
for good sound.

There's no practical difference between "oversampling" and "upsampling".
