Vinyl to Sonos Beam

I have been banging my head on this for quite a while now. I need to connect my Vinyl player to the Sonos Beam, which is also connected to the TV.

I found this scheme on another thread 

 

Beam ← HDMI/optical ← optical switch ← TV

                                                                ← ADC ← preamp (if reqd) ← turntable

The thread is:

 

I have an analog to digital converter that can take the player output into optical.

I also have an optical switch, which I could use to switch between player optical output and TV optical output. The thing I haven’t considered from that shceme is how to connect optical SPDIF to the Beam HDMI. It tells “HDMI/optical” but I haven’t found any such adapter/converter.

Any help understanding how to do it, or any other solution proposal would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

It comes included with the Beam Gen2 and, alternatively, you can buy it from Sonos:

I remember reading here that the output from a converter did not bring any sound to a Beam - probably the wrong codec or something. The search function on this forum is useless, so maybe you could try using Google.
