AES is a format you will have better luck finding something that does USB to S/PDIF and AES input should recognize it with the proper cabling
I tried this and it works fine:

i have this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001338221671.html and it works pretty well on Mac and iOS
What do you think of the Audinate Dante AoIP dongles?
Unfortunately, you will need a networked environment (OS agnostic) but will not be included in the total cost of both @$350.
I think they have both a USB and an AES dongle but it will max out at 16bits.
SMSL SD9 (was $400) accepts two USB2.0 and a USB-Audio as inputs and provides AES/EBU as well as I2S and coax outputs.
The older SMSL DP5 and the Gustard-16/18/26 series accepts USB and AES/EBU ONLY as inputs.

Which dongles? I'm having trouble finding enough info

This works.
Might be a little pricey, but does eight channels.
My understanding is that the spec on spdif is lower voltage than aes. So, depending on whatever it is you’re using to receive the aes signal, there’s a chance it won’t work. But it often does work.
