If you want to use SPDIF audio - it's always worth considering using an HDMI audio extractor downstream. Some of them (but not all) will extract DD/DTS (others will be PCM 3.0 only). These devices have HDMI video pass-through but extract audio to SPDIF Toslink and/or Coax outputs (and usually analogue 2.0 for PCM stereo sources)
They can be a useful stop-gap approach to allow legacy amps to work with newer platforms which don't have SPDIF connectivity.
Example here https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XFZXTYW/r...il_0?psc=1 (NB this isn't 4K 60 compatible, and I'm not endorsing that model) You can also get models with integrated DD/DTS decoders with 5.1 analogue outputs.
