Optical out to my DAC

Here's the question. I stream through my Roku and feed my tv the  via HDMI. I also have a two channel system in the same room..ran separately. If I am watching/streaming...say Ausin City Limits and I want to hear the stream on my 2 channel system and watch it on TV. Can I run an Optical cable off the TV or Roku to my stand alone DAC for the sound? If so...is my dac or the TV providing the signal processing?

Thanks for any help!

Yes and no if you take the optical output from the tv then into the dac you will get soundfrom the dac but you will not be able toget sound out-of-the- tv as you will have to deactivate the tvs speakers to get the optical out to work

 

So you can get either or but not both
