You can buy it for less without USB...I like the the form of this unit but as I only need to clear 16-bit audio, and I don't need USB, there must be means of making a cost-reduced version, perhaps with a cheaper DAC chip. Perhaps I should get into this business.
The DAC chip used isn't very expensive anyway... You would save like $10-15 maybe. Not worth it.
If you want a cheaper DAC overall then there are cheaper ones...
