I had my heart set a Schiit Modi 3 ( as recommended by Darko, he seems level headed ...). But getting shipped to Canada is expensive. Anything else out there in the 1-200$ starter DAC range?
Looking at shipping costs, I would be tempted to go for the Modi3 and ship it via uninsured USPS. Buying anything in that price range from outside Canada is always a bit painful because cost of insured priority shipping is is a fair chunk of the purchase price.
Going with the cheapest USPS seems to give you the best chance of having it show up in your mailbox without duties/customs charges as well.

4 pages on topic is unusual around here unless the topic is really generic.
