Basically, what it says in the title. I'm looking for something like the Objective2 Amp/DAC combo, but with an S/PDIF input rather than a USB input. Reason being is that if I go for one with e USB input I am limited to only being able to use it with a computer, whereas if I get one with S/PDIF I can use it with other audio equipment in the future and it's relatively easy to add an S/PDIF output to a PC.
Oh, price range. Somewhere in the USD$100 -> USD$200 range.
You can buy one of these, then you can use whatever you want.

Oh, I knew that there are adapters out there, but I wanted to get an all-in-one unit. If it comes to it I will go with an external adapter.
He linked you a DAC with pretty much every connection you could want lol
When I said "all in one" I meant both amp and dac in one. The item in the link is a dac only.
Better solution: buy a good headphone amp, then buy a DAC separate, and upgrade the DAC as needed. Oh, and FYI, USB DAC is probably the most universal thing you can buy, whereas I can see S/PDIF disappearing first on devices. And if it ever does change, let's say 10 years down the road, that $25 DAC lasted you ten years, and you just need to buy another $25 DC.
Modular solutions FTW.
