There is a little USB DAC from Maplin which looks to me to be very similar
to the "Firestone" except that it only costs a fraction of the price. I've
used the Maplin DAC for some time and have been very pleased with it.

Is it this one?

I've been looking at that as a cheap way of getting toslink output from
my laptop to a Minidisc, have you tried it in that mode?
