AN, Audio Aero, etc, are all very pricey, reflecting the low manuf. volume (and the pocketbooks of the well heeled audiophile). You might be just as happy with a less expensive dac as long as you are solving the jitter and computer power supply/rfi problem somehow.
I do use a MHDT Renaissance DAC, a cheap 16 bit non oversampling dac which is quite nice on not too complex music (though it does not have the leading edge impact and presence of the DAC inside my Sony receiver on more complex music).
If you are going to spend a lot of money, look into the modified Benchmark solutions (or, if you really like the tube sound, the Wavelength or the MHDT) and think carefully about what kind of PC you want to configure.
