As the question says 'best', then the best option would be using a digital interface board on the Pi, and taking the DAC off-board, feeding it with the Pi's digital output.

Neil,
that's what I have done. I use a Hifiberry Digi+ to feed an external DAC. Perhaps I should have been more specific in my question. So here goes. What would forum users recommend as the best add on board for the Rpi to deliver a signal to an external DAC? Although my budget is flexible, let's look at solutions around £100 or less first.

Check out the Kali Reclocker and Piano DAC from allo.com, there is a thread in the Trade section for them under the name of Audiohdwr.
