Hi, i've been a lurker for this site for about a year, but I find myself needing some more experienced advice.
I currently have a modded KSC-75 , and i've been looking for the best DAC/AMP that I could plug into my laptop through USB to bypass my laptops crappy sound card. I'm trying to buy one for less than $100-120 that could also drive future headphones such as a HD555 or ATH-AD700. I've been looking at the uDAC2-HP as it has a 24-bit/92kHz DAC and also a built in amp. I'm not sure if it's worth getting a USB DAC with 24-bit/92kHz over 16-bit/48kHz.
I was looking on eBay for USB DACs and I found things such as this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ORDO-TA2024-T-AMPl-Amplifier-USB-DAC-TA2024-PCM2704-S-/110575532195?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19bed0b8a3#ht_4523wt_906
I'm not sure how this compares to the uDac2, if anyone has any info, please tell.
Thanks for the help!
