There is also the Glow Audio Amp One that comes out right around your budget. I haven't used it personally but it has gotten fairly solid reviews. Note that I'm not affiliated with them. Good luck with your search.

hmm the nuforce does look quite good, and is at a very competitive price!

the non standard speaker connections seem a bit wierd however, as it really would limit cabling options. having a line out is always welcome, in case i would want to use a separate speaker amp down the line as well.

The glow looks quite nice! but is a bit pricey relative to the nuforce.

However, one main restriction is availability. I am in Australia and things are REALLY hard to come by around here

How is the TNS Sweet btw? anyone tried one?

i am also possibly thinking of a separate DAC and headphone amp

something like a beresford 7510 and then a darkvoice or little dot just to make life easier...

any suggestions?

thanks for all the help so far!
