How to get the most out of TV audio?


Please excuse me if there is an obvious answer to this question that I'm not aware of. I'm a bit of a novice.

I watch a lot of music television. Rave and MusicHD for example. How do I get the most out of the audio signal brought to me courtesy of Dish Network?

I'm in the process of putting together my first real 2.0 system. I've got a pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethovens and I'm in the market for an amp.

Do I need an external DAC between my Dish box and my amp?

Any advice appreciated.

I use the stereo out jacks straight to my preamp (I don't have an external DAC or I would do that) and it sounds great so long as I use analytical cables. The feed is a little soft sounding but can be corrected with cables. I use MIT T2 and find them to be perfect. I love RaveHD as well. Sirius too.
