Do it yourself

Chinese stores are full of DAC boards based on chips from famous developers - Saber, akm, pcm. All of them, historically, have an I2S comb at the input. There is such a comb out of the box in raspberries. What if I want to get decent sound from the desktop? I found only a Chinese clone of amanero and a Chinese development on the Xmos chip. These usb-I2S converters are more expensive than the DAC itself (and it would seem, digit-digit). Are there reasonable (inexpensive) desktop audio interface solutions for enthusiasts who are not afraid of a soldering iron and firmware?)

For those who are not afraid of a soldering iron, take some CP2615 and spread a scarf under it.

How much do you think "cheap" is?
It seems that the interface is not so expensive www.aliexpress.com/item/32955730994.html
If there is spdif on the motherboard, then you can save a little and take such a scarf
