Evening all!
 
I'm quite new to the hobby and I'm looking for a device that would allow me to connect both my computer and a record player to a Little Dot MK III (already ordered - so excited), somewhere up to £150 if it's a viable choice, though I could wait and go higher if needed.
 
My current kit
 
PC
Creative X-fi Fatality Pro (happy with this for gaming but leaves a lot to be desired everywhere else)
Fiio E7
Little Dot MK III
Marley Exodus's
Sennheiser HD 555's
Grado SR-80's
 
I've been looking at these, but I've not been able to find much on either if they'd work how I want or how they actually sound (un-bias reviews). I assume I could use them to switch between inputs with phono out to the little dot? 
 
Aune Mini DAC MK2 SE
 
Aune X1 DAC
 
Maverick D1
 
 
Topping D2
 
Xiang Sheng DAC-01A (maverick D1 clone?)
 
However I'm also considering grabbing a dedicated DAC and buying a USB record player and connecting it through my computer, though I don't know if it's a good idea. I'm thoroughly confused as to which route to take. Any advice on a decent player would be welcome too!
 
If it helps I was considering the Project Debute III record player, and the little dot DAC_1 or HRT music streammer II+.
 
Thanks in advance all!

I have an Audio-Technica AT-PL120 turntable which has selectable line-level output built in, which has made it handy for me to hook up to my stereo equipment (none of which has a phono input).  The new version AT-LP120 has built-in USB in addition to the line-level output and seems to get good reviews, though I haven't tried it myself.  Wish it was available when I purchased mine.
