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)

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.
