They have a 502dac hat there with BNC optical outs. I'm using a Cable with a BNC connector on one end and RCA on the other. Got the cable from eBay for around $20. It uses Belden wire. This hat sounds phenomenal. I have gone through many comparisons with this.
Compared it to Daphile software on a computer, a high end FireWire computer sound card, my Squeezeboxes and directly to my CD player with Spdif. Everything going to my Schiit Mimby dac. The pi2design spdif out sounds better than all of the above. It looks more high end than the Allo, though I have not heard that. Check out their website, it appears they are having specials right now. I'm a very happy customer!

The DigiOne to which I linked is not a DAC - just S/PDIF output.

  The 502dac is designed first for S/PDIF. It is better than the Digione from all the research I have done. I know it has Dac in the name, but the dac part of it is just OK, they actually came out with the 502dacpro, Which is suppose to be better as a dac with the same S/PDIF out as the 502dac. I'm very happy with my setup and I have a very revealing system.

    I have no use for an internal DAC to increase its power consumption.
