I did a search here on Audiogon and what fits your budget and wants would be the Musiland Md-10. You will want USB input for your PC. I am not selling it. I do build DAC kits. This one for the price looks like it is what you are looking for.
DAC Noob - seeking suggestions
My 2 year old son just broke my Rotel CD player, so I need a new source.
I am interested in the idea of getting an entry level DAC with reclocking/anti-jitter. That way I could use multiple relatively inexpensive digital sources, such as a computer hard drive or an inexpensive CD/DVD player, and still get reasonable quality sound.
My system:
Martin Logan Aerius i
McIntosh MC 2105
McIntosh C 26
I bought all that stuff when I was a bachelor, no kids, and the "toys" budget was a lot larger than it is now. Budget is a PRIMARY consideration. Something that could be picked up used under $300 would be good.
Is there any such animal?
Please be specific with brand names and models - like I said, I am a total noob about DACs.
