I'm currently trying to figure out the final component for my setup but am having some trouble ultimately deciding on what to go with. Reading enough threads here for suggestions and seeing what falls in my price range (100-150) thats also available on amazon or ebay or something written in english, this is what's currently on my "maybe" list:
 
- NuForce uDAC 2
- Fubar II
- Zero DAC
- Musiland Monitor 02
 
 
I need USB in and RCA out, and already have a dedicated amp so DAC is all I need to factor into the equation. Which should I go with? Is there something else you guys suggest?
 
thanks in advance

They all use op-amps so they will all sound pretty much the same, some support 24/192 if you listen to such recordings. I've only heard the Zero but have nothing but good things to say about it, the amp is also really good for a SS... unless you have a tube amp it could be the only device you need.
