DAC woes - what to do

Upgrade your RCA's

Someone point me in the right direction
I like my Schiit Bifrost with USB 2.0 asynch input and UBER analogue upgrade for $600. Maybe look for a used one.Alas - it only has one spdif jack, but does have optical alsoIt performs exceptionally well if you use good cablesI use a $70 DH Labs ...
