However, in one of my systems I use a Khadas Tone Board (generic edition). It’s a bare board DAC with USB and S/PDIF inputs which I can package together with a Pi.

I'm totally with you on the matter of “less cables are better” :-)
That looks like an amazing product, it's just a pity that “The Tone Board only works with a Raspberry Pi via USB, not I2S.”.
I'm very curious on how you packaged it with an RPI if you wouldn't mind sharing a few details. 

Btw. I noticed it has got an I2s connection, see bottom left in this picture but I'm not sure one can connect it this way to an RPI.

Listening with the latest moOde on a RPI zero w with a MiniBoss DAC PCM5122 32bit 384kHz and a Volt+ AMP on a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 100 speakers.
