I have excellent D to A converters in my Oppo BDP-105D Blu-Ray disc player, and it has a USB input. It also can accept music files, and I can download Apple Music at 24/192 into my Galaxy S21 Ultra 5g, but I don't know how those files would play back once on the Oppo. My surround sound receiver is the ONLY one I want, circa 2005. Sony STR-DA 9000ES, made in Japan (where the best ES equipment is, or was, made). First time Sony S-Master Pro digital amplifiers were available in a non-commercial product. 200 WPC x 7ch at very low distortion, and it has a toroidal transformer power supply, gold caps, and I'm using it in 9.1 channel mode by programming it to "know" that I have a Sony TAN-5000ES 5 channel amplifier (run in 2-channel BridgedTransformerLess aka "BTL" mode) which takes the 5 amp outputs and converts them to a 2 channel output at 200 WPC. So I have 200 watts x 9 channels.
I'm pretty sure? the discontinued (2019) Chromecast Music device would work, by using its optical out in to the 9000ES, but they are discontinued. I may try to find one, IF I know it would work at the 24/192 resolution.
Worse case scenario, I'd have to buy a stand alone D to A converter and go stereo analog in to my receiver.
Anyone who has read this far and understands what they read should be able to answer my question.
Thanks
