DAC for less than £100?

Can't argue there really, that there's a compromise with these small cheaper T amps with a headphone output as well. I guess that's partly the reason why the TP20 is said to be a bit better sounding. I went for the TP21 over the TP20, because at the time I still had my X-Fi sound card, so just connecting the amp to that and then the headphones to the amp, seemed like the solution with the least hassle at the time without having swap between headphone and speaker amp. :p

X-fi ended up popping it's clogs and I decided to go with a DAC/HP amp, rather than another sound card, so I probably should have just gone with a TP20 to begin with. :D
 
Well I just got the SMSL after a long wait from China have to admit the difference is noticeable straight away if you compare my onboard sound to the SMSL it seperates every single sound a lot better very impressed for such a small price - also amplifies the headphones beyond comfortable listening which my onboard wasn't able todo I had to run it full volume.
