I have been trying to find a cheap and good dac to be used with my Headfive and DT990 '05 32ohm. My budget is $145.24 or 1000 SEK or 110.59 EURO MAX. And I don't want to pay overprice for anyithing if it can be avoided.

The Silverstone Ensemble EB01 would be my first choice, but no retailer in Sweden sells it. I can get it from Silverstone directly, but for the cost $180. Then it is not a "cheap" dac anymore.

Firestone Fubar 2 would be an alternative at $120, but with 25% tax the price is high.

Edirol UA-1EX is one other alternative, but the only retailer in sweden sells it for $123.46. That is a bit much for this dac/soundcard I believe.

E-mu 0404 usb is $290.49. 0202 usb is $174.29.

A retailer in Europe who sells any one of them cheap would be good, as there is no 25% tax.

If there is one alternative which I have missed, please tell me. USB is preferred.

So, anyone know where to find a good and cheap dac for a European? Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm also looking for something external at the same price point. I've found the Edirol UA-1EX for a fairly good price (€71 + €15 shipping). They have the 0202 USB for €135. Have a look:
