Ak4490 boards or complete dacs with spdif input?

Looking for a decent assembled AK4495 board. Any recommendations?

16.07.16 UPDATE:

Preference is for a complete AK4490 dac in a chassis
Otherwise a board with dc input so that i dont have to wire a power supply
No usb or DSD required
Must have spdif input
Components should be of decent quality with removable op amps for easy upgrade

I struggle navigating taobao and cant translaye using google.

Is there a non dsd ak4490 option without xmos? I will need 3 dacs with spdif to take 3 x nanodigi ouputs

4th option (105$) and 2nd option (120$) are without USB module, thus SPDIF only. Difference is, they seem use difeerent transformators in power supply section. You can add USB/DSD functionality later by an Amanero pin compatible USB module.

You should copy & paste text-only areas into translation box section by section in order to translate dynamic pages like taobao correctly. I assume chinese characters are clearly visible in your browser.

Oh, and transformers take up more space too...

The title says it has USB still. But there are three "scenarios" to choose from ?? I would ask the seller what they are. It is very likely that the cheapest one has no USB.
