recommendations for newbie


I have dedicated 2 channel system which i am happy about (though may experiment a bit w/ speakers again, that twitch u know..) and have another HT set up. The room with the 2 channel set up also is a study....and I love using itunes/IPOD (i travel a LOT) so have music stored in my PC in Apple lossless. At times at night, there is need to use headphones. So what is the best and simple way to get the PC to headphone listening?

I have read about Headroom's USB DAC headphone amps and also heard great things about the benchmark DAC which has a headphone amp though some say the amp section ain't that great. Anything someone can recommend which is simple, not too large in size so I can simply place it on my desk?

I agree that the Benchmark Headphone amp can be excellent, although I still prefer listening to headphones through a tube headamp, modded of course.
