I can suggest the HRT Music Streamer II.  It is $149, at the upper end of your budget, but I think its a great little DAC.

Fiio E17 is a new USB DAC plus amp, that would not only allow you to bypass the more often than not crappy onboard audio chip and use its higher quality DAC, along with the fact that it has an integrated amp that will help drive your headphones better.
