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

Any way to take advantage? Also, I have an old Oppo 95. Is it possible to mod that so it can read 4K UHD disks? Again, thanks!

Not correct. 4K is a video standard. 24/96 audio will get you there for stereo unless you want to process Dolby Atmos or similar protocol, usually via HDMI and a different digital receiver than your Moon.

They are pretty low, around 48 kHz. Yes, running from your TV’s digital outs to your moon is the simplest best sounding method for your current set up. When you are ready to step up consider an Anthem MRX 540. You can use it for all your HDMI needs, power center and surround speakers, and send your L and R to your Moon.
