looking out for a new dac

[then_dude]

Hello everybody,

i have a few dac's, but i'm looking out for a new one.

1)i have a gamma 1 which i use now
2)i have a NOS 1541 dac which i don't use, cause it uses a coax and even with filter there is to much dirt coming in from my pc. ...


so i'm looking for a better dac then the gamma 1. I know there is a list of best buys for every price, but i don't seem to find it.

the dac i'm looking for may be a Diy, diy-kit, prebuild, plain shop. It has to have a usb; coax is great but not necessairy, other connectings are extra.

what would you advice me to buy ?

for 100 $ a hifidiymedia cs4398
for 150 $ gamma 1
for 250 $ gamma 2
for 300 $ Audio-GD NFB3
for 450 $ ? i'm running out of steam here

i have a class D amp (charlize t2020,, and maybe i will put a tube in front);

thanks guys
