RCA to Optical Converter


I have an older Onkyo TX-8050 receiver.  I want to connect the speaker output (left & right, each with a red & white RCA female connector, total of 4) to my Bose soundbar.  The only option I have for input on the soundbar is an optical female.  How do I do this?

My challenge is that each of the speaker outputs has a red & white RCA female jack (a total of 4) I cannot find a DAC that has 4 RCA inputs. Also, I don't think I need a preamp, as my receiver has a phono input.

 

It is not a pre-out.  It is the + and - for the left and right speaker.  Instead of using a bare wire terminal for each connection, they used RCA jacks.
