My very old Denon receiver has never been able to handle HDCP, so I have never used the HDMI switcher built into the receiver and up until now it hasn't been a problem. I have always taken video sources directly into the Television and then whatever source I was using I would either take the coax audio or optical audio into my Denon recover. This has served me well for the past 14 years. My receiver only acted as a audio switcher, not ideal, but i have made it work for years.
Now I find myself in a pickle, because I want to replace my ROKU 4 with a new ROKU box and none of the new ROKU boxes have an optical audio output. It is strictly HDMI. So I was wondering if any of the HDMI audio extractors like this:

Are worth buying. I know i can replace my receiver with a newer unit, but that would require tricking the wife into buying it and I don't want to fight that battle today.
I emailed Roku and they don't recommend anything. So I am taking the pulse of this community to see if anyone out there has had personal experience with these devices.
