RCA to Optical Converter

So you need an ADC instead of a DAC.  An analog to digital converter.  Here's one.

Better, a complete rethink of what the OP is trying to achieve.  Had to check that it is not April 1

Something is not making sense here.  Here is a link to a Onkyo TX-8050 receiver currently on eBay.  Is this what you have?

These are speaker level outputs from the receiver and the soundbar needs a digital output in optical form. If I have described this correctly above I would start anew. This seems difficult to achieve and many better options should be possible like ditching the soundbar with its limitations.

@Jbs - Oh good catch, for some reason I thought these were preamp outs. 

OP:  If this is coming from a modern TV, why not go from the TV to the sound bar directly?
