Looking for a good USB DAC (£100 or under)

[-Neil-]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a decent USB DAC as I can't have an internal pci soundcard due to the rad from my watercooling in the top of my Lian Li V1000 and waterblock on my 6800GT.

I've been reading up on the Silverstone EB01 which seems to get good reviews.

I read somewhere that it can only do L + R channels, my current speakers are Acoustic Energy Aego M's which have a sub. Would the Silverstone EB01 work ok with the two speakers and the sub?

Or are there any other better choices out there for similar money?
I'm currently using the onboard sound on my motherboard (AC97 IIRC).

Thanks in advance,

Neil.

Anyone care to share some opinions?

I've had good experiences with the PreSonus Firebox. It's Firewire rather than USB though.
