so im narrowing to these choices for a dac/amp... bascially I am using this as a amp till new years (or when i have the funds) then im going to get a tube amp from LD.

Basically the main long term purpose is to use this unit as a usb DAC... now my budget is <150 shipped and i have resorted to these 3 ebay dac/amp's .. which one will you recommend? or maybe another one outside these 3 selection?

Styleaudio Carat-UD1 USB DAC & Headphone Amp - NEW on eBay.ca (item 160360322176 end time 01-Jan-10 21:30:11 EST) <- Styleaudio.. i believe this is made in korea? correct me if i'm wrong.

AUNE Mini USB DAC + Headphone Amplifier MK2 on eBay.ca (item 260435237330 end time 21-Dec-09 20:26:26 EST) <- this one is $10 over my budget but is very popular and i like the design too.. but is it worth it considering it uses the same burr-brown chip as the 2?

I didnt pick tianyuen cause it looks way too cheap and a bit too big.
