The Auralic also has a USB output; however, I find it unlikely that anything other than vanilla PCM will be output, which means no ADC compensation in the DAC.

Aries spec:

Output
USB 2.0 High-Speed for compatible DAC**
AES/EBU, Coaxial, TOSLINK***

** 'compatible DAC' means a DAC do not require a driver for Mac OS X
*** Sampling rate limited to 44.1K - 192K and DSD64 only
