I wanted as you did to make the sound more listenable coming through the cable box. It was a horrible experience with lousy results. I was going through some odds and ends of stuff in my closet and came across a toslink (optical) cable (audioquest) so I plugged that into the back of my aquos tv. Then plugged that into the input of a little micromega vario dac I forgot I had . I used the rca outputs on the dac and ran them into the aux. inputs(audio quest coral) of my integrated amp (tri vista 300) and now I have excellant sound. I have a home theatre set up in the basement but I don't use it , as much as the kids do anyway. I got turned off home theatre with all the constant changes that seem to just cost more and change quicker than the weather does. So this works well for me.Especially when I remind myself it was all stuff sitting in the bottom of my closet not being used. Cheers
Cable tv music analogue or digital?
I was trying to improve the quality of the sound coming from my cable tv box, sometimes I like to listen to the jazz station. I ran a regular rca jack from the analogue outs on the cable box to the analogue inputs on my pre-amp, the sound is ok, but I wanted to improve the sound. so I ran a cable from the digital coax output on the cable box to the coaxe input on my Cary 306/200 cdp/dac and then into the pre-amp. guess what, no audio signal coming from the music channels but I do get an audio signal coming from the regular tv channels. Is it possible that regular tv signals are broadcasting in digital but the music channelis still going out in analogue? what else could it be.
