How does the April Music Stello U3 stack up against competition?

I just got a Macmini to use as a transport in place of a very nice Bolder modded Squeezebox Touch and I was looking to get a USB converter to use with my current dac (Metrum Octave) while I save for a replacement USB DAC in a few months (the one I wrote about previously).

I saw 6moons gave the April Music Stello U3 an award and reviewed it with good results with my current DAC, but I'm wondering how it stacks up to the competition around its price?  The Jkenny 3 and Audiophilio2 come to mind.

Hi Fred:

You have a PM.

Fred, I can send my Audiophilleo 2 to you for audition since my system is torn down and it's just sitting in a box right now.

I believe there was some comparisons at computer audiophile forum, but since they changed the forum format..lots of topics disappeared.
They were using the coax out.

Pete,

That would be great!  I'd love to be able to tell for free whether its worth the effort of changing my transport for this Octave.  YGPM
