Unfortunately there is no such thing as a S/PDIF to USB "adapter", it's called a computer! This is a complex task and nobody has yet got it down to the level of "adapter". To do this takes a computer with some specialized software. It is particularly interesting if the USB DAC runs in asynchronous mode, the source (S/PDIF) and the DAC will be running at slightly different rates which will take an ASRC in software. If your USB input is one that will run under linux you could get a wandboard and put CSOS on it, this is a very good SB emulator, you can plug your USB input intothe wandboard. Or just use the analog outs on the clasic.
