I need a Dac instead of my integrated sound card which is quite poor (worse than my iPhone). I will use a Vsonic GR07 BE (or a DUNU DN-1000 later), no headphones.
I cant decide. Which would be the better choice for earphones only?
 
(or other suggestion around or less than 50 bucks)
 
Musiland 01 Mini 52USD
 
HiFimeDIY Sabre U2 Asynchronous USB DAC   57USD

Neither one will satisfy you if you are using high-quality IEMs.  You're not going to be happy unless you obtain a full-fledged DAC with a completely isolated power supply.  The typical USB power supply in a PC - or especially laptops - is enough to upset most IEMs, even with a very high-quality DAC, if it's USB buss-powered.  JMHO
