No experience, but I've been looking at USB DACs for a while...

Im not sure I understand your ::)

These guys make great products. the folks over at head-fi love the amps and that is how i found out about them. His english isn't very good so I would imagine that plays in to it. He posts the specs, the diagrams etc

I have had mine for a few years and use it daily.

Been using a NuForce Icon uDAC-2 (http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/iconudac2/) for listening on my laptop and really like it. Very big improvement in audio quality over the built-in soundcard and setup was simple, just plug and play. One caveat: got it from acidjack and he told me it didn't play so nicely with his MacBook.
