#36 JDS Labs Atom DAC Discontinued eBay

Pros: Audio Science Review measured a SINAD of 110 dB, so noise and distortion stay well below audibility in normal listening. It offers USB inputs.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. It has no headphone output, so it needs a separate headphone amp.
