Nintendo switch and Vivaldi dac/upsampler

Just use a HDMI → HDMI+Audio adapter.

Many on Amazon for under $50. Like;

HDMI2HDMI-Audio

The connectivity would be;

  • From your Nintendo Switch Hub HDMI Out to this Adapter’s HDMI IN.
  • This Adapter’s HDMI OUT goes to your TV HDMI input
  • This Adapter’s S/PDIF TOSLink OUT (or RCA) goes an appropriate Vivaldi S/PDIF input
  • Set Vivaldi DAC clocking to “Audio” on that S/PDIF input port
