Best 2.1 Speaker Option

I'm looking for a good solution to connect a 2.1 system to a raspberry pi with an input from a TV as well.  The L and R speakers are passive and the sub is amplified.  The sub is remote, so I have a wireless transmitter sending to it which requires line level.

Ideally, I would like a TOSLink from the TV to the Pi, then a DSP with a line out for the sub and 2+ channel amp for the speakers.  Currently I'm using a Fosi 2 channel amp directly connected to the TV, but I would like to get rid of it since I can't control it electronically or change the crossover.

Is this possible with any of the HiFiBerry stuff?  The Beocreate seemed the closest, but it doesn't seem possible to get a line out from it.  I'm not sure how good it would be to convert speaker level to line level.

  We don't offer a DSP with both line out and speaker out. The best fit is the Beocreate. Some subwoofers can be connected also to speaker level outputs.

  I was looking at images of the Beocreate board and it looks like there are some test spots for the analog output (at least on the V1).  Are they line level?  Would it be possible to solder an RCA connector to them?  The documentation doesn't appear to cover those holes.  There has to be some point on the board before the amp that could be utilized for a line out.  My sub does hot have speaker level input and it's remote with a wireless transmitter that only supports line in anyway.

  These are not line level outputs. There are no line-level analog signals on the Beocreate
