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.
