Check out Pro-ject Head Box series. Small units with good sound.

I notice that Metrum are now selling through dealers. I thought they were direct sellers?

You could certainly order direct from them, don't know if that is still the case - I got my DAC through my local dealer (then found out that the Metrum HQ was only 30 km away) :doh:

Sorry but that Metrum is way way too expensive.

The Audioquest Dragonflys are very good and small. The red is worth the extra with quality head phones.

Might find a s/h MF V-CAN around, should be good and certainly if you can pick up the matching V-PSU.

Nuforce might have something but I do not recommend their uDAC3 USB Headphone unit.
