izo's 24/192 PC headphone amp

If you're not all about recording 24/192 audio but just want a decent method for playing it back, izo's got a headphone amp that you might want to take a gander at: the iHA-1 (we'll spare you the Smashing Pumpkins gags). It's not much more than an analog RCA, S/PDIF, and coax DAC for listening to your tunes, but it does have a 118dB – 123dB SNR, which sounds pretty good to us. So what doesn't sound good about this thing? Well, that ¥99,750 (~$900 US) tag is inducing some fair amount of sticker shock in us all right about now.
