eARC to HDMI converters

I'm trying to use a new Sony TV with eARC with a pre-ARC Bryston SP3 processor.  I think there are devices that take in eARC from the TV and output HDMI to the processor.  I've tried two by OREI, but the processor gets no HDMI input.  Looking for recommendations.

I have no personal experience with this unit but please let me know how it works out for you because I am definitely interested.  I have an Anthem processor I may return to service.

OK, it looks like this is going the wrong way.  It ADDS eARC to televisions which didn't previously have it.  I need to do more research.

Maybe this is the better answer?

erik, your better answer is the last of three I’ve tried, the least expensive at about $25, and the only one that works. But last night when playing Legend of the Ring -- maybe it was Lord of the Ring -- I discovered the immersive sound from the 85" Sony TV is amazing. I don’t need to connect the TV to my audio setup. I can reserve that for DSD and Blue-ray.

OP:  I should have asked, can you do optical digital instead?
