Looking for a relatively cheap alternative to mimic the RME ADI 2 DAC spectrum analyzer?

As the title indicates, I have been looking for an inexpensive spectrum analyzer. Having oggled the RME ADI 2 DAC for a while, I have come to the conclusion that all I really want are those sweet sweet green bars. Currently I’m using Kauna to give me something akin to the look, but being able to see more active info on the sounds I am hearing would be rad. I’m not really sure if a spectrum analyzer is what I’m looking for. I have looked at visual audio level indicators. My preference is to have a piece of hardware. Software and a mic can work too. Budget sub $300 USD.

Thanks for the quick response @db_cooper ! I’ll have to add that to the list of potential candidates.
