Matt, thank you for the input, I had Modwright on my radar but have never seen or heard Doge or Dehavilland. Although all of these options still leave me without a digital RCA or optical input.

I'm in the Hillsboro area and could give you a hand with the setup if you'd like. I'm not a pro but I have a scale and a good technical background.
