MQA through Toslink

Any DACs you know do this under the $400 mark?

Thanks!

Apparently the "MQA Renderer", which is engine these smaller/mobile DACs use to unfold MQA, only works through USB. So that's why all the AQ, Pro-ject, and iFi DACs that do MQA can only do it through USB connection. So back to other idea - anyone have a Toslink-to-USB Converter?
