The blue circle thingee might be your cup of tea. It was recently reviewed in The Absolute Sound. I think it will work to pass s/pdif accoring to the article. It is around 180.00 if I remember correctly.
The manufacturer's response is a hoot. It is a full blow dac as well but the article seems to indicate you can use it as a dac. it is in the august 2009 article.
"The thingee funcitons as both a digital to digital converter and a dac."
The reviewer, Steven Stone, like it as a converter not as a dac. Quite a bit cheaper than the usb link above.
