Which one of these has better specs? I'm not very good at understanding this kind of lingul

The SB-Z has much better specs and a more powerful built in headphone amp and the uDAC2 also gets a lot of bad reviews on here with poor QC the main reason.

I bought a SB-Z last year but wasnt very impressed with it at all and sent it straight back. I replaced it with a 2nd hand OPA627 modded Xonar ST (PCI version of the Xonar STX) and I really cant praise it highly enough, its in a different league to the Z, It continues to make me shake my head in disbelief every single day, easily the best audio buy I've ever made.

Might want to look at the Asus Xonar STX and STX II.
