Looking for a Cheap DAC?

I like the ifi micro idac2.  I don't think I paid a lot for it, and it will play DSD files natively.
I am going to get a new Oppo disc player and use the DAC in it for a while.


Why would you get disc player just to use its DAC? If you don't need a transport, for a relatively modest price you can get a Cambridge Audio DACmagic Plus. I've been using one with my old CD player and its pretty decent. I just replaced the wall wart that came with the unit with a regulated linear DC power supply and it gave it a nice little boost in dynamics.  
I have a DACmagic Plus now. I hear there are better DACs out now, including the Oppo Sonica, which will also play CDs, SADs, and video.
