DAC advice!

Hi

I currently have a pair of Grado SR125 headphones which I use for listening to music through my computer.

I also have the MF X-Cans V1 and Little DOT II headphone amplifiers which I connect to my Ipod if I am not using the computer. However I am thinking of connecting one of these to my computer instead. My computer has optical(and I believe also an electrical) output and I am thinking of getting a DAC instead of relying on the onboard sound.

I don't have a huge budget(around £100) but what are the best new(or even secondhand) DACs for the money?? I also have a Cambridge Audio S700 ISOMAGIC DAC too but is a huge thing and there is no room on my desk for it!!

I was looking at the Beresford TC-7510 - is this a good choice?

My PC is a Shuttle SD37P2 so there are no free slots for a soundcard as I have a double slot cooler on my graphics card.
