I've been looking for a decent, low priced USB DAC, and the best I've been able to find under $300 is the High Resolution Technology Music Streamer II: http://www.amazon.com/HRT-Music-Streamer-II-Resolution/dp/B0038O4UFQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
However, one review (which I can't seem to find) claimed that the use of a USB port as the power supply severely hinders the capabilities of this product. I have not found other evidence supporting this but it seems possible. Any EE's out there who can provide an answer?
