Dirac Live cost vs RAW approach – advice needed

Which quality Toslink adapter do you recommend me to buy?
I don't have a clue. I use internal PCI-E card on desktop with Toslink I/O on purpose even it whose slight downgrade to one I had previously (AE-5 to SB Z SE). It's also used for reproduction in my 2.2 setup. WiiM is quate limited in many ways as you will find out soon on your own. I am certain someone will give you good suggestions regarding convertor.

Is this the correct approach?
Laptop > USB > USB-to-TOSLINK adapter > Optical IN on WiiM Ultra

Or you can do "offline measurements" by saving the sweep signal to your laptop and play it through whatever music app you are using.

edit: not sure if that'll work with MMM and RTA though.
