I'm using the UE-5pro, looking for a DAC with a low noise floor that's under 150. I just need a line-level out, gonna hook it up to an amp. Extra inputs and outputs would be nice, especially optical. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I suggest you take a look here, then search and read up on those that looks to be possible candidates.

Thanks for the link! I've looked around a little, I'm considering the FUBAR II, the Headphonia DAC Cable, and this Onkyo DAC:

To be more specific, I'm looking for something with just a line-level out to hook up to an amp, but ideally with USB and optical in, and RCA and optical out. I want something with a really low noise floor 'cause my IEM's are pretty sensitive. So, between the three of these, which one would have the lowest "hiss", and the 'best' sound? -I can't find any reviews on the Onkyo DAC...

iBasso's D2 Boa+ is a good choice for $20 more

Thanks for the help guys. I decided to go with the Onkyo, 'cause it has all the inputs and outputs I want and then some.
