need advice for new desktop DAC/ AMP

[MasterMoe]

Hi there- looking for a desktop DAC/ AMP with the following;
 
inputs: optical, analog, aux
outputs: front headphone jack, optical, analog
under $200
 
The only ones I can seem to find are the creative sound blaster e5 and sound blaster g5.
 
Would be great  if I was aware of other options. Thanks!

Apart from PC type sound card based devices I think you're going to struggle to find something in budget that has all the input/outputs your looking for.

Is there a reason why you want an optical out? Are you thinking of feeding a second DAC at some point? And what is the rationale for having an aux in? What will you be feeding with that?

If you can strip out these two then I think more options present themselves.

Magni/Modi stack. Can't be best for that price.

Or maybe the OPPO HA-2SE.
