@Morla : Forget the last question... My mistake
Well, I have changed my mind and now I would like to use a HDMI to SPDIF digital interface instead of the USB interface, because the Shield only has 2 USB ports and both could be needed at any time. However, on your web site you advise against using this interface because HDMI has mediocre audio. The Nvidia Shield TV has HDMI 2.0 compliant ports, so do you think that extracted audio will still be bad? In other words, will extracted audio be worse than audio from the USB interface? Note that I'm not looking for a HDMI extractor with analogue outputs (I don't want any more D/A converters), but a 'pure' HDMI to SPDIF adapter. I have found this on Audiophonics:

Do you know any other models?
Thank you very much indeed.
Vincent, sorry to bother you again, but I have a last question if you don't mind.Personally I doubt if the difference is audible.
