I just got a couple of Skeleton DAC boards, which can be configured with SPDIF out. They are $2 a piece on Beezar.

I built a few bantam dacs. it was a fun exercise, but I'm not sure its economical once you add all the parts in. the cmedia boards are often cheaper and they are assembled. simply tapping into some solder pads to get spdif seemed more fun to me than building a whole unit. there is also the supplier (TI) that is flakey as hell. I've personally had to wait months for various TI chips to be restocked. its a lousy way to run a business and I'd hate to have to depend on one vendor (like TI) to supply me a key part.
