As with gdhal and gdnrbob, I also use USB. I would consider the purchase of a used M2Tech USB to SPDIF converter which plugs directly into the USB port and run coax to the V90. No USB cable needed. This opens the possibility of purchasing a older used DAC having a more robust power supply and analog output stage as a further upgrade.
