I recently bought a 4k Samsung TV and the only audio output on that is optical audio out. AFAIK optical output is not variable, which means if I buy a preamp like
Micca OriGain I won't be able to control the volume from the TV with my TV remote.

I would like to control the volume to my speakers as well. So what is the best amp to setup my TV with my speakers (Pioneer SP-BS22-LR) with active volume control. I am looking for something within sub $150 range. Location - Canada.

Thanks!

A Yamaha A-S 301 has optical in and a remote, but costs probably more than $150 canadian.

You could buy a DAC that can be used in preamp mode and a remote, say a Topping E30, and then any old or existing amp for the amplification.
