Yeah - I got them from Ikea as well.   How tall are those legs?  They look good.  I need about 6 or 7" in height to let the gear breath..  My DAC is huge.

They'll give you almost exactly 4 inches of clearance below - the lake people amp I have is tiny. I think they have different size ones, but I can't seem to find any on their website.

They have 4 inch, 6 inch and 8 inch.  I use them with some rock maple blocks I planed and finished for my audio gear and computer stands.  If I have a chance I can take a picture soon though if you search for Ikea Capita legs you should be able to find some shots or places to buy them.

This is actually old and no longer exists (the stereo is in my car now, and I'll post my new system), but this what I had:
I took out the Yamaha RX-350 and hooked up the Pioneer Premier DEH-P610BT car stereo to the computer with a friend's help. It sounds fantastic and is still hooked up to my Wharfedale Diamond series tower speakers. The Pioneer is no longer in production and I wound up getting it for just over $100, brand new sealed from a dealer. It sounds amazing - very punchy, clear and crisp. It's got a really nice edge to it that I like, similar to the Yamaha. And it's a big space saver too, which is great! The DAC is the Nu-Force Icon uDac-2.

Here's the new system. Basically everything the same (see previous post), except for the Yamaha R-S201. The Dell monitor will eventually get upgraded, as it's a POS. It's just there as a second screen for Spotify and other non-super important visual information. The earbuds are Miles Davis Trumpets by Monster (they sound fantastic). I use them mainly on my phone but sometimes on the Nu-Force Icon uDac-2. The big headphones are Sennheiser 558s, also used at the desk sometimes and on my iPhone 4s. Still using the Wharfedale Diamond towers (took off the front grill for you guys) for the most part though, and the vinyl I just got for the cover for $1 at a record fair.

I love that computer case, which one is that?

Draygonn - The DC-1 is a great unit that really ties my system together.  I've had the unit for about a year now and I am very satisfied.
 
I wish I had more experience with other DAC/Amps but the only other unit was a amp by Creek Audio which didn't have the power I needed.
 
I can say that the DC-1 works well with my HiFiMAN HE-400's.  I was worried caused those types of headphones are so picky for power.
 
I just recently stepped up to the Fostex TH600's and I am now I'm convinced I made the right purchase. These headphones are driven so nicely I can sit and listen to my music forever.
 
I am not as happy with the display which has often stopped working (still had audio though).  I am not quite liking the headphone jacks.  My issue is that they are difficult to locate.  I'm wondering if they could have some backlit capability to help quickly find the port.  push a button and a backlight goes for 5 seconds or so...that would be nice.
 
Other technical elements are fine.  There has been no jitter or sonic defects at all!  
 
Maybe in the near future I will have another unit to compare against!
