audio from comcast and other providers

Hi, I'm new.

I have a nice int. amp and speakers. (Music Fidelity A-5 and Gallo 3.10). Two channel. I want to include a tv in the chain. As I like to listen some of the audio channels, vh1 etc. offered by comcast do I need a dac anywhere in the chain for the cable box?

Thanks, jj

Thanks!

On the back of this particular set ( 2008 Samsung ln32a650a ) there are audio outs (rca) which I assume are coax? and a single digital audio out (optical). Which do you suggest. jj

Hi again,

How do you go from the cable box to the stereo? Which connections do you use? How do you include the tv in this scenario? jj

Ok,

So an hdmi cable is not needed. Just the coax cable (cable feed to cable box, cable box to tv. And then rca's from cable box to amp. Right? jj

Hi

The Musical Fidelity doesn't have a digital out so I'll have to use audio out. So, as I had queried earlier in this thread, should I use a dac?

Thank-you for all the insight. I have a better understanding now and it does seem that a dac is necessary. Correct?
