Ooops! Sorry. I accidentally copied the list from the bottom of page one and not page 2. It's corrected now.

I reordered them to alphabetical, feel free to quote then remove quote tags for easy additions. Does 'dedicated' mean *no* other functions besides source? (I didn't add mine for this reason)

Thanks for sorting the list.
I don't see any reason we shouldn't include non dedicated DAC. So, whatever you're using to convert from Digital to Analog can be added to the list, including CD players.

It seems to me that the budget/entry division needs to be split? It looks like there is a decent range(pricewise) of products in there, of what some people consider budget/entry, but thats only IMO.

Well, I imagine he wanted to keep the categories down.

I would suggest a category for DACs under $200 like the Zero, then say $200-500. However, I think all of the listed units are $200 or higher (new) anyway, except the E-MU.
