New 4K TV; how do I best stream audio through older integrated amp

I have an i3.3 Moon Integrated with built in DAC and balanced inputs, but no HDMI in to take advantage of the 4K audio content from my new TV. Any recommendations on how to approach this?

Thanks, Chris

If you have a TOSLINK - digital Out connection on your TV (highly likely), This will give you a great Stereo digital feed into your DAC. The TOSLINK protocol supports audio resolutions up to 24/96. This turned out to be the best connection for me - from my Sony HDR TV into an extra Bel Canto DAC that I had around. Incredible high resolution audio. good luck.
