MHDT Havana best DAC under 600 used?

Is the MHDT Havana the best DAC under $600 used? What other DACs can produce a natural 3-d sound using USB input that sell for under 600 used?

I prefer natural, musical sound as oppose to over clinical which is what I believe this piece does well according to the reviews. I don't recall the usb vs. spdif input being significantly different in sound, anyone have first hand knowledge would be great..

I have mine in a second system and just can't bring myself to sell it. Greg
