Hello, I am looking to hook up my powered speakers to my PS3 through its optical out and my Macbook through USB. Are there any DACs available under $200 or would I have to get something like the V-DAC? A headphone amp would be nice but it's not necessary. Thanks.

SEE PROS & CONS. NOTE: The clamping factor will obviously differ from person to person, but I'm surprised to find little mention of it, as it is the sole reason I'd never think twice about...

The iBasso D10 has all that and is portable as well- but it's about $250 new.
Basic model Audio-gd Sparrow as well.
