I wonder if there is a difference.
No DAC (the chip doing the DA conversion) talks USB.
You need to convert any way from USB to a protocol the chip does understand.
You can find USB to SPDIF converters based on e.g. XMOS.
You can find DACs with a build-in XMOS.
Likewise you have M2Tech USB to SPDIF converters.
You can also find DACs with this USB receiver build in.
