ESI Dr. Dac Nano or..?

I need some cheap USB soundcard or DAC for my laptop, you all know how the onboard chips are. All I need is stereo output to my receiver, which will be powering some Tangband W3-871SC and Alessandro MS-1i (when they arrive...). I might be upgrading to a dedicated headphone amp later. 

 

I noticed the Dr. Dac Nano, it has some good reviews and I could get it for 80€ shipped. Is this a good idea, or shuold I buy a soundcar or some other DAC instead?

The Audiotrak Prodigy Cube seems to be a much more capable device, but at a similar price.

For some reason I don't feel like ordering anything from South Korea... Anywhere else it seems to cost around 130€, quite a lot more. What do you mean by more capable device, since I don't care about the extra inputs and outputs or volume control.

Well if the Cube is significantly more expensive, where you live, and you don't care about the extra in/outputs or the swappable opamp, then the Dr. DAC Nano might be a better choice.
