SB3 versa USB to S/PDIF converter?

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Has anyone compared SB3 going S/PDIF to an external DAC to any USB to S/PDIF converter going into the same DAC?
I am looking for a better digital source, at present time it is Rotel RCD 1072 going into MF X-DAC V3, and was thinking of adding convenience to performance by taking music server approach.
I got SB3 with linear regulated PS, and I am not pleased with its performance.
Sound quality wise, Toslink into DAC is garbage, coax is better, but not as good as Mid-fi Rotel as transport. This came as a surprise to me considering the advertised low jitter on SB3 coax.
Has anyone compared digital out of SB to any of USB to S/PDIF converters, such as Empirical Audio USB Off-Ramp Turbo 2?
And can any of those USB to S/PDIF converters be purchased with trial period (money back minus shipping)?
