How do I hook up an Apple TV 4K to my PS Audio Sprout for Loseless Audio

My current Apple TV has Optical out but I'd like to upgrade to a 4K & Lossless Audio. How do I hook an Apple TV 4K directly up to my PS Audio Sprout for Lossless Audio listening? It looks like the Apple TV 4K does not support High-Res Lossless, maybe due to removing the Optical out?

Lossless audio from Apple Music through Apple TV 4K, requires an AV receiver using an HDMI cable.

Optical has the bandwidth for “regular” PCM Stereo, but not enough for uncompressed Hi-Res audio (higher bit depth, higher sample rates).
