Hi, could you recommend some alternatives that are in the same price range? Thanks.

At that pricerange there really aren't that many alternatives when it comes to form factor. But I would suggest a better sound card with a dedicated head phone amplifier if you got the space for it.
My desktop's built in ASUS soundcard sounds better with with the HD202 but worse with the DT770 Pro, just for reference.
Maybe the gold edition is better, although a bit more expensive. Just don't buy the uDAC v.1 :)

I don't use headphones and I use a Mac, so either you suggested wouldn't work. thanks though.

Does uDAC-2 sound decent given its price? I know there are lots of better ones but I am not looking to spend that kind of money.

As I said, I think a lot of what you pay for is the form factor, at which it is hard to beat. Just as a D/A you got the TOS-link in the Mac and then you can hook it up to whatever or you got the M-Audio Fast Track or the Creative X-Fi HD. Try them and see what you like if you have the chance.
It definitely is not a bad product (v2 that is, v1 is horrible), but I personally think this product is a little bit overrated.
