Also know that for the sake of your hard disk space, there's NO penalty to simply ripping straight to Apple Lossless in the first place. There's no advantage to AIFF here.

If you don't intend to (also) use this as a preamp out to a stereo, Nu-Force makes one that's only got a headphone jack: http://www.amazon.com/NuForce-uDAC2-HP-B...pd_sim_e_5
