Best USB DAC under $150 that works in Linux

Take a look at the Audiotrak Cube which does 96/24 and uses a Wolfson DAC. Also has a small headphone amp and line-out with volume control.

I have the FiiO X3 (second generation) running very nicely as a USB DAC connected to a Raspberry Pi 2 (with Raspian). You can list this DAC device as compatible:

Will test also the FiiO Olympus K10 when I get it home from the office. I expect that to run as well, and that's a much cheaper option than the X3. Perfect for headless HiFi from a Raspberry
