Hello Head-Fi users! As a new user I would just like to say this is a lovely forum and I have found lots of helpful information here so thank you! I have a fairly basic question but would like some second opinions. I currently have Beyer DT770 250 ohmn headphones being amped by an O2 I built. While the O2 greatly improved sound quality, I was looking for a DAC to further improve. Of the DACs under $50, my candidates are the Stoner Acoustics UD100, HifiMeDiy Sabre, and the Behringer UCA202. For the price range, what would be my best option? Thanks!

Heya,
 
I'd probably grab the Sabre. Otherwise, a like-new or used Fiio E10 would be a nice option at that price point.
 
Very best,

What source(s) are you plugging the O2/DT770s into?

Sources are the onboard sound chip on my laptop and desktop.

Oh hey actually! I wanted to try one of these my self, so... maybe I ought to recommend it to you! 
 
Well Review'd by the oDac Guy... Iand for $30 It really seems like a good deal! I might try it when my new portable amp comes in my self!
