Default Looking for a suggestion

Hi, I am wondering what would be a good DAC to go with my HD600 and Headfive amp. I would be running it out of my macbook with apple lossless files. Thanks for any suggestions.

What's your source? I use the av-710 soundcard with the headfive and it sounds great, there will be little difference if any between that and a sub $300 DAC.

ipod out is okay, laptop out isn't all that good... If you have a desktop PC I would suggest the Chaintech av-710 sound card, there is a review above, when used with foobar, kernal streaming it sounds really good.
