Hello! I've recently become interested in using my portable set up with my desktop. However I noticed that the integrated soundcard on my Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 doesn't cut it.

My portable set up is the Fiio E11 amp + Sansa Fuze LO (V2, I really can't remember, the one with the wolfsten DAC) + Hifiman RE-262.

I've already tried looking around on tom's and head-fi and here are some I've found (purchasing from Canada):

- ELE EL-D01 MINI HIFI USB DAC SOUND Audio CARD ($16.74 free shipping)
- Hifimediy Sabre USB DAC ($45 with shipping)
- Fiio E10 (Still trying to find where to buy at a decent price)

I'm currently leaning towards the ELE because of the price and reviews.

Does anyone have any suggestions for one? It will only be used with my desktop as I'm already satisfied with the DAC on my Fuze and there is no more room in the portable case I used for my Fuze + E11.
