Hello.

Is it correct to assume that there can be a direct translation between
coaxial digital and TOS Link optical? If so, what is the best choice for
price, simplicity and performance?

I am looking at a sound card that has coaxial in and out, but I need TOS
Link.

Thanks!

Coax to optical converters are cheap and widely available.
Even places like Radio Shack and Parts Express have them.

These came up first when I searched google for "coax optical
converter":

Both are pretty representative

The data stream on S/PDIF and on TOSlink are the same.
Converters in either direction are available many places,
even Radio Shack, etc.
