CD player with USB and Coaxial out - does such a thing exist?

I am looking for a good USB to Coaxial converter that sounds good and doesn’t break the bank. Simultaneously, lower on the priority list, I intend to get a decent CD player.

I discovered CD players that have USB DACs built in, but the outs are RCA - no Coaxial. Anyone know if such a thing is available? Also fielding recommendations for basic USB to Coaxial converters that are under $100. Thanks!

Thanks for replying, yes that item is what I'm looking for and didn't show up on my searches so I appreciate the recommendation.

I'm using it to play audio files from my laptop.

I went with a TeraLink X2, good enough for now.

The M2Tech HiFace is a good converter. No need for a USB cable as it's input is a USB A male connection. Comes with either RCA or AES/BCN output (When searching watch this). Can be found on Ebay or here on AG for under $100. The MS V-links are also good at that price, require USB cable however.

I have both Music Fidelity units.  24/96 and a 24/192 for the Vlink II.  It's called an SPDIF converter.  If you can't find one, let me know.  I'd be willing to part with the 96.

Thanks for the offer, I already ordered a TeraLink X2, but now I'm curious: can you tell a difference between the 24/92 and the 24/192?
