Hi,
A simple solution would be to use a Google Chromecast Audio or an Apple Airport (seeing you are an Apple PhanBoi) and any device that converts optical SPDIF to electrical for your DAC.
Several suitable products exist (I am sure other inmates can chime in with their preference), several also use different strategies to reduce jitter, but they may jack the cost higher than you are prepared to absorb and several use sample rate conversion to 96kHz which your DAC does not handle without modification.
An alternate solution would be a USB-2-SPDIF converter, again multiple options are available to buy and a suitable long SPDIF cable.
A third option would be a dedicated streamer (from a 2nd Hand Squeezebox via Raspberry Pie etc. based options to high end hardware solutions) with SPDIF output.
It all depends on what you want to achieve.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
