Given that you have a integrated amp, and if you don't need the headphone option, I would not buy the DacMagic. One way to improve a budget DAC for computer (USB) use is to employ a USB/SPDIF converter. My approach has been to buy a older use DAC with known quality power supply and analog output stage and couple it with a USB converter. Have used a PS Audio digital link III with M2Tech Hiface converter. Since upgraded to Bryston and Audiophilleo.
A used Rega DAC could be had at your price point.
A Music Fidelity V-Link or Hiface and Non-USB Bit Frost could be had new also. With HiFace no USB cable is required.
The Parasound Z-DAC gets great reviews here and Stereophile.
Good luck in your search.
