Unfortunately there aren't very many. The Wavelength USB dacs are direct I2S, Emprical Audio showed a direct I2S box to a P3A and mentioned that he was going to go to a Benchmark DAC1 as well. I've heard both these and they are very good, Empiracal doesn't have the I2S stuff on the web page so you need to talk to Steve directly to find out what he charges for those.The one I'm not sure about is the twindac+, I have yet to find out if its direct I2S or if it goes through S/PDIF. The new Stello DAC is also up for grabs on this as well. Since someone here jut bought one we can probably find out real soon.
Every other one I know of uses USB to S/PDIF.
