I've been thinking of building a DAC to replace the Fiio E10 that I have currently but I'm not sure that there would really be any reason to do so given my situation. (outside of the joy of a DIY project)
 
It would be used strictly at my work where I only stream Spotify through a USB connection.

I cannot install Fubar or any loss-less file playing software since it's the work's tower, and the tower has no SPDIF output so I'm stuck using USB only..
 
I was looking into a y2 but without being able to use SPDIF and USB only supporting 16/44 is there a point to go y2 over something like a y1 lite?
 
..Is there even a reason to go y1 lite over the Fiio E10 that I have now?
 
Sorry for all the questions.. I have the itch to build something.. but I want to make sure it won't be all for not.

Short answer: probably no,
 
Check out this threat, maybe that's what you want to do.:

Have you looked at the music players in portable apps?

These are all open source products that have been configured to run off a USB flash drive: no installation on your office computer required.
