PSA DLIII vs. StelloDA100 vs ? $700 budget

I currently share a Pico DAC with my portable rig, I would like to get something more permanent for the house. The amp that I'm using (and loving) at home is a Gilmore Lite with my Grados. 

 

DAC's I'm considering are:

 

used DA100

used PSA DLIII

used DAC1 (non USB)

DACmagic

DACport LX

a second Pico DAC

 

I dont care if its USB or Optical, I use my Macbook 100% of the time. Budget is $700.

 

Thoughts appreciated.

For USB, get John Kenny's JKDAC. Other than that, you might want to consider the Stello Signature version ($650 on Agon), EE Minimax, or the Musical Fidelity M1. I'm not a fan of the Benchmark at all, and the DacMagic is pretty mediocre compared to the rest of your list.

Thanks, I'll look into those suggestions as well.
