I currently have my Android box (Netflix, Kodi etc) connected to my TV thru HDMI and then digital coax to my AVR (Cambridge Azur 540 R v3) because the HDMI ports on the AVR do not process audio. But is this the best solution?
The Android box also has SPDIF out so I could connect this directly to the AVR.
I also have a digital to 6 discrete analog channel converter which could be put into the mix if it would make any difference.
 
Solution
I don't think it will make any difference, especially for streaming content. End point of your audio will always pass thru SPDIF, whether Box->TV->Receiver, or Box->Receiver
