I'm interested in either one of these DACs and my main concern is how these are when using the USB in. I know optical or coax is ideal but that is not a possibility for now. Any opinions would be appreciated!

I use a UD-10 for USB input to my Paradisea+ and find it improves the DAC to use the Coax input...I have also used PopPulse ProTransport for the same purpose and it worked equally well. YMMV

According to the EnjoyTheMusic.com review of the MHDT Havana, the reviewer says that the Havana fed via USB sounds as good as it does being fed via the (expensive) Bolder modified Squeezebox + power-supply. Judging from what others have said about the Bolder modified Squeezebox, I'd say that's saying something...
