I'm looking for a new DAC for my computer to replace my onboard audio.

Can you guys reccomend me something good for under 100 bucks?

this guy has gotten a lot of good recommendations.. check out the thread on Headfi too..
HOTAUDIO.COM - HAND MADE AUDIO PERFECTION

Buy my Super Pro DAC707 USB.. uses a very nice CS4398 DAC chip used on $400+ units and sounds much bigger than its price.

Sounds much better than the HotAudios, though it is a little more expensive ($150 new; two are selling $100 and under in FS including mine).

If you're not using an amplifier though, get something else. It only has line-level RCA outputs.

Gotta look into this, might be a good adition to my ef2.

the "ZERO DAC" also got some good reviews. it will cost around 100$ on ebay.

also the "musiland 01 us" is quite fotm these days. its specs are nice.

I do not like the fact that the musiland products need drivers though. they do not run on a mac neither.

udac from nuforce. at $99 it could be the category killer for budget dac. here is headphoneaddict's review/preview:
