How much money are you willing to spend?

Not too much, probably 100$ max, preferably less. Used is fine.

So that DAC would be a great deal?

Try to get a Schiit magni then, they are 100 new, so they should be under that used.

From reviews it seems to be fairly capable and for that price you can't go wrong

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Any other opinions? I mean Silverstone doesn't really make audio stuff, but they are pretty good at everything.

Ehhh I'd say try it since it's only $25. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

It's a combo unit. They're quite common. Sometimes I get lazy and just say dac when it's a dac/amp combo.

I don't know, seems a bit suspicious to it being a dac/amp combo, tho

For starter, it got no volume knob, and I didn't see any remote controller. Also in the back, it only says USB DAC. Usually dac/amp combo devices don't forget to mention it being a combo. This might be a DAC only, like the modi.

It's got a TI NE5532 according to the Silverstone page though. and the TI NE5532 is one of the best headphone amps for the price, with 0.3 ohm output impedance too.

Wait, keep in mind, i belive this is the EB01, not the EB01-E. This is the one http://silverstonetek.com/legacy.php?pid=112&area=en&model=eb01&tno=6
