AES to s/pdif converter


My BelCanto streamer does not play anything over 24/96 through the s/pdif cable.  The company told me it would if I used the AES output, but my DAC will only take optical or s/pdif.  I see there are AES to s/pdif converters out there for $30 to $700.  [Aurender]  Does anyone have experience in this matter?

Yes, I wanted to get all the 24/192 selections from Qobuz, but it looks like time to upgrade the streamer. Thanks for the input.

I have several <$100 AES-to-S/PDIF converters and all work fine but, so far, only up to 24/96.  

I guess my online search messed up.  Still wondering if this will add distortion into the cable.
