Default MacPro7,1 USB-C to optical solution

Coming from a 5,1 I miss the digital output.
What’s the alternatives today for getting a macOS system digital audio output on a MP7,1?
Simple, cheap, USB-C/TB...?

Topping D10S if you want nice.
Behringer UCA202 / 222 if you want cheap. Limited to 48KHz, I think.

Or any RME interface if you want excellent drivers.

Thanks dominicperry,

I just need a simple converter to connect to my HD Omni to be able to listen to Spotify, YouTube etc. Nothing critical, was hoping for a TB/USB-C-to-optical/spdif cable.

Thanks again,
Ordered a Behringer UCA222, so I can run core audio in tandem with HDX and monitor through my Omni.
