Toslink dac, need a streamer

[Anglofun]

Evening!

Approaching my final stages to getting everything setup and this one is biting my a$$ pretty hard.

I have an older dac, a Reimyo DAP 777, that is truly magnificent in 2 channel audio (hence I do not want the internal l yamaha dac of my aventage a4a). Like everyone, I stream music online, especially apple music on my apple tv 4K, but this streamer does not have a toslink out which my dac needs.

I bought an HDMI to Toslink converter that I added on hoping it would link to the dac. Tried every dip switch possibility ( I know what you guys are thinking right about now).

Funny thing is, the dac lights up green like it receives the signal.

Last thing, yes I changed the settings in my apple tv to stereo.

Your insights would be great on this one.

Thanks

You're using an AppleTV into a special sauce DAC and you don't think the Aventage DAC is good enough? What's wrong with it? Are you comparing it with another one, or does it really sound bad?

Why would you convert from HDMI to TosLink?

Stop sniffing Audiophile glue! That old Reipro will not be as good as a new DAC and almost certainly inferior to the DAC in your Yamaha. The reason your converted does not work is because it is a fraud and does not have the HDCP copy protection codes, which it is not allowed by law. HDMI is two way communication which Toslink is not.

Now just bite the bullet and send you old Reimo to the recycling center where it is its current destination.

Keep it simple and use a avr and speakers.
I just don't get it that people want to make things complicated.
