So are there any new ways to connect from PC to spdif - coax or optical on amp end - other than older solutions like MF V-link or Peachtree X1?

Appreciate the feedback.

I haven’t used it but are you looking for something like this?

 
You can always use a pcie sound card which has a toslink connector like the one below:

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 Sound Card 106 DB SNR/192 kHz Optimal Recording Solution with High-Performance Headphone Amp https://amzn.eu/d/iYTwIRQ

Some motherboards even come with an optical audio out built in to the rear I/O.

Yes, asrock steel legend b450 mobo got optical out. And it does work with Dolby digital 5.1

Check your motherboard spec. If it has a spdif header, you can easily get coaxial out for less than 20 rupees. All you need is a RCA socket and two wires which is available in any electronics shop easily. I am using it like this. Coaxial supports dts and dd.
 
(The said spdif header in above post) can also do aes!!!
Modern motherboards have all ditched this very useful header. IME, It sounded vastly better than any usb.
 
@baijuxavior As you told is certainly right for CO-AXIAL digital out. If you need TOSLINK digital out .you need to connect 5v power wire to the exclusive header pin of mobo, provided SPDIF header having three pin config. If your mobo having only two pins, you have to add a backplate with both co-ax & Toslink out having three wired system and connect two wires with mobo and found a suitable 5v pin from unused power header and connect.Done.
Because I did it on my GIGABYTE Z170 D3H mobo which is having two pin header.
Hope it will help.

I just bought a Douk audio usb to coaxial SPDIF converter as a stop gap arrangement. It's working well.
