TOSLINK Optical Input to Coaxial S/PDIF Module | eBay
Or better this one which includes display and can host a XMOS or Amanero USB board, but you will have to do the I2S mod.:
NEW AK4118 digital receiver board SPDIF input switch IIS with IIS support XMOS
If you buy the second you may want to explore better alternatives for the dac board:
AK4495 DAC Decoder Board Soft Control Supports Balanced Output DSD IIS Input
NEW LJM CS4398 DAC Kit With USB Optical Fiber 24/192k | eBay
After looking around this seems like a good option for those requiring optical in, but it is a different DAC.
All those receiver boards seem to be just as expensive as the dac in this thread

I have been trying to find a way to add both an optical input and an usb input to this board.
It's a pity the board designer didn't provide an option on the CS8416 pin 3 for an optical input, as well as on pins 11, 12 and 13 to put an input selector switch.
To add an USB input you can do it through the coaxial input or through I2S. The latter is more complicated, because you will need to implement a selector switch with a reed relay. All high quality DSD boards have I2S outputs, so you can connect it to the AK4395 board, but you need a selector, as I explained.
Interconnect wires also have to be short and with individual shield. If you are using ribbon wire, it can't be longer than 10cm / 4 inches.

Hello (especially ClaveFremen)!
Tell: whether the equivalent will be changeover on tonal quality of C38 condensers, C39 Elna RFS (Silmic II) 100 uF 50V by Elna ROA (Cerafine) 100 uF 50V and C14, C17 condensers, C31 Elna ROA (Cerafine) 47 uF 25V on Elna RFS (Silmic II) 47 uF 25V.
Thanks for the answer in advance.

For the optimal modifications, a couple of hundered messages earlier that subject was tackled. ClaveFremen even compiled a BOM which he published.
Don't expect others to evaluate the components of your choise for you. You ought to do that yourself.
lots of succes experimenting.
