i originally planned on getting a asus xonar essence st.. adding a second gpu has made that impossible. my only option is external, whats good in the same price range?
 
searching around a bit this is what is appealing to me atm... but i'm pretty clueless when it comes to audio stuffs.

i'd like to keep it as below 250 as possible without being crappy quality, it will mostly be used with swan m10s
 
I was in the same boat - SLI hogged slots driving out my sound card. I went with a FiiO E9 + E7 bundle. Drives my headphones nicely. Outputs to my speakers as well. It's a solid DAC - not quite as good as the sonar essence st, but for the money, it's a nice alternative that's completely external. The E7 is also nice and portable if you want to use it with a laptop or even as an amp for an mp3 player when traveling or on the go. Sells on amazon for roughy 185, shipped.
