Pick up a used hiface USB to spdif converter for around $100. I have compared the USB, optical and hiface with a ps audio dl3 and Mac mini and the hiface sounds significantly better to me. It will play sample rates up to 24/192 as well. USB is limited to 48 on the dl3 and the optical on the mini is limited to 24/96. You can also use some of the free players like audirvana to upsample your music to 24/192 which will be played natively into the ps audio dl3 when using the hiface. Prepare to increase your budget if you want to improve upon the ps audio dac.
