HotAudio makes some nice stuff. This one might suit you: http://hotaudio.com/store/dac-wow-usb.php

I have his budget Dac Destroyer which I preferred over the uDac2. I can only assume his higher end models are even better.

 

And yes, you can connect to an external amp.

The Destroyer has an amp, and I believe the Extasy does too. The Wow only has RCA outputs. HotAudio does have his Thunderbolt line of amps if you're interested in a separate amp.

Looking at the amps on his site, it looks like they all take 1/8" input. If you shoot him an email though, he can probably make you one with RCA inputs.
