Price range?

This an inexpensive USB DAC that has gotten some good reviews.

If you are looking for one with toslink and coax too as well as USB look at this one:

Some people are comparing that one to the Benchmark DAC1 which is over $1000.

Source material

What incoding format are you using for the iPod/PC source. The D/A conversion in the iPod is pretty good, especially playing lossless files. If you are playing 128 kb AAC than that will be the limiting factor, not the D/A conversion.
