Expensive, but this will accept eARC and can output a 2 channel PCM signal over optical. Supports HDR, Dolby Vision, etc. They also make an 8k one with VRR 120hz support.
Hmm, that sucks.
Maybe you could use one of this type of device:

...to get the eARC signal from the TV,
convert it to a normal HDMI output -
then send this to any of those extractors.
Sounds fairly Frankenstein to me!
IMHO if you are trying to get sound from a tv, the correct tool for the job is an AVR; but each to their own.
Well in my case it’s already solved since I simply installed the custom firmware in my JDS Atom DAC.Hmm, that sucks.

Most AVR:s seem to be overkill for 2-channel needs and they come in massive ugly boxes.

That's still the type you put before the tv. You can tell because it only has hdmi in and out. Another tip off is the marketing explaining what video resolution it can handle (as it has to pass the video to the tv)

If the tv manufactures all had decent optical out, or dacs had eARC/ARC in, you might not even need an AVR with a modern smart tv.
you would feed your cable box, cd/blu-ray player, game console etc into the tv and the tv would out put just the audio stream via optical or eARC/ARC to your dac. Your other digital devises would feed into the dac. whatever is down stream of the dac is up to you.
