How do I connect Samsung KS8000 TV to my speakers?

[GhostDoll GodSlayer]

So I recently bought a 65" Samsung KS8000 4k TV from Costco and I was setting it up in my living room and I couldn't figure out how to connect them to my speakers.

I'm using the Audioengine A5+ bookshelf speakers and a Premier Acoustic PA-150 Subwoofer.

The TV has an audio input called ARC that I've never heard about and an optical cable as the other audio input, neither of which my speakers have.

Right now I'm using my desktop PC with the TV and I can connect my speakers directly to my PC, but I want be able to use the speakers when there's other sources like PS4, or the smart TV itself.

The speakers only have an audio jack and white-red cable inputs.

What's a good clean solution? The less cables the better.

The fact that new TV's are sold without good old analog A/V outputs is kinda distressing to me,

I guess the easiets, cleanest and cheapest solution would be to to use a Bluetooth audio dongle. However, the sound quality might leave something to be desired. 

I'm also unsure whether the Bluetooth functionality is strictly for voice control or if it can also be used for sending audio.

 

The second solution would be to get a DAC that can convert the optical signal into an analog signal.

Does it not have 3.5mm out??

Look in the manual.

I looked in the manual and it does not. It only has ARC and optical.

Hang on.

I actually looked at the DAC I have, It's a Schiit Modi 2 Uber http://schiit.com/products/modi-2

Is that an optical port in the middle? I just now noticed it had that.

Would this be able to connect to my TV? Or do DACs only work with computers?

I World Think it would work but can you connect the speakers to it?

Yes the Speakers have red-white cable inputs and the DAC does as well.

I connect the DAC to my PC using the USB type B.

If I buy an optical cable I should be able to connect the DAC directly to the TV with that.
