I was just looking at this yesterday.
Probably the best value for money in a standalone DAC (no headphone amp) is the Music Streamer II+, used on eBay.
A good value in a DAC/headphone amp combo is the Audinst HUD-mx.
And what I use (until I upgrade to a Centrance DacPort), is a Cakewalk UA-1G. It's a decent amateur home studio interface, with a DAC, ADC, and headphone amp. Very versatile.
