I would check out the Antipodes S40.
Sound is very clean sounding and delivers a great signal to your DAC. They have a very good USB connection and it definitely facilitates getting the most out of your DAC.
It is a nice unit and has a clear and manageable upgrade path in terms of renderer, power supply and clock.
I have definitely bought into Antipodes philosophy. I am a dealer but do a ton of research and you will find my opinion is not inconsistent with owners, largely because I use the K40.
