I can't find the XiangSheng DAC-01 for sale anywhere. I'll add it to the list once its availability has been confirmed. It would also be nice to know what DAC chip it uses.

The Xiangsheng DAC-01
Hefei XiangSheng Electronic Co.,Ltd - Display - Products - DAC-01 24BIT / 96KHZ Multifuctional Decoders
It sells for about $75 + shipping. I believe it uses a C-Media DAC chip. You can email Xiangsheng for more details.
