Looking for a USB headphone DAC. This one caught my attention.

Open source hardware, seem to be good quality, low price.
One obvious downside is that it's "Ikea": Some assembly required.
I like the concept!

Open Source Hardware is going to become hot shit for stuff like this soon. Sure of it.
pretty cool! but that's an amp, not a dac.
i have the
headroom bithead (
review,
comparison), which i love.
sounds swell:
The USB Thingee ($169 USD) is really three components in one: It’s a USB-to-S/PDIF digital converter, a USB DAC with analog outputs, and a USB DAC headphone amplifier.
(ibid.)
where does one buy these thingees?
