@TheOldPresbyope, Thank you for sharing your experience and recommendation!
@Tim Curtis What about the HiFiBerry DAC+ DSP? https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/dacplus-dsp/
It has Toslink in and out, and analog out. It would be perfect for taking audio out from a TV. Does that board fall in the category that suffers from the control issue you mentioned?
Edit: A quick look in the settings shows it as an option, so I think I've answered my own question!
More info about the volume/skipping issue: It appears that Airplay does NOT suffer similarly!
