Default BOUGHT: DAC/amp, ~$100-300 (e.g., Zero, Citypulse, Fubar III, etc.)

EDIT: Ordered a Zero DAC... might want to upgrade it later, if I'm not happy with it, but that will be in at least about a month.

I'm looking for a DAC that I will be using from USB. However, I know there are USB/SPDIF adapters out there for pretty cheap, so I'll be open-minded. Looking for a good deal anywhere up to around $300.

Requirements:

- Either two sets of RCA-out
OR
- One set of RCA-out and one 1/4" stereo plug (for headphones) and a good built-in amp

Please read the above before sending me an offer. There are good DAC's out there with only 1 set of RCA plugs, but I am not interested in those.

Some models that I might be interested in (NOTE THAT I MAY BE INTERESTED IN OTHERS):

- Fubar III
- Zero DAC
- DIYEDEN SVDAC05 / SVDAC04
- City Pulse 7.2x / DA2.03e
- etc.

Make me a reasonable offer! Note that I will definitely be very picky.

PS: I have 2x AKG K240M's, a silver Meier Headfive, an X-Fi XtremeMusic with digital I/O, and a Yamaha RX-V596 receiver that I can partially trade, +/- cash.

Just FYI, the Fubar II is, regrettably, one of the "good DAC's out there with one set of RCA plugs". The Fubar III, however, fits the bill just fine.
