Substitute for Waveterminal U24

About a week ago I ordered a Waveterminal U24 to use in converting a USB signal from my computer to a sp/dif signal that I could feed into my Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC. I got a note back today from the company that I ordered from saying that the model had been discontinued. I've done some checking around on the internet and that appears to be true.

Does anyone know of a comparable external device that will do a good job of converting USB to (RCA coax) sp/dif?

If the Hagerman works without loading a special S/W driver, then this is what I am talking about. The hardware usually comes with a CDROM that contains the software driver.

The Hagerman works without a software driver on the mac under os x. Still testing the sound quality.

MAC results should be better than PC. Good drivers on MAC.

Any updates on the sound of the Hagerman?

Grindstaff-

Still don't have my Trivista back from repair, so I am unable to use the Hagerman. I'll post something as soon as I have the Trivista back.
