Connect Macs to analog amplifier?

I have 2 systems I need to maximize the sound quality from Itunes to stereo.
My main system is a Musical Fidelity A300 that connects to a G4 laptop. (Mission 735 speakers soon to be upgraded)

My secondary system is a Nakamichi receiver with Triangle Stella ES speakers
which connects to a new MacPro Tower.

Both the MF and the Nak have only RCA jacks and I need to find an affordable way to get the most out of my digital music. I was looking in the $100-$150
range and consider Blue Circle USB Thingee, Trends Audio UD-10.2, or M-Audio Audiophile USB. Im overwhelmed as there are so many ways to do this.
Suggestions much appreciated!

Gmood1,

So the Trend Audio doesnt act as a DAC as well? I looked at the Fubar as a possibility as well, but it appears to act independently as well. What is the purpose of the two units?

Thanks, Im very green to all this stuff!

Does anybody have any experience with DAC707 Super Pro USB as an option in one box?

I think I will get started with the Fubar 2 as that seems to be a pretty good value for the money. Did you buy the SUPPLIER Power Supply Unit or consider doing so? Not sure it's worth the extra money.........?

yes, you have been vey helpful in me narrowing my down my options here so i can get started on this. i think i'll get a Fubar 2 as i dont have a need for the headphone, and then maybe i will try out that PSU a little later on.

Thanks for the tips!
