@mapman Thank you for the info on eARK. I haven't seen any eARK inputs on streamers or DAC's. I already have a SMc Audio preamp so I need a streamer only or a DAC.
Streaming from a TV
I am setting up a nice system in an audio/video room. I am trying to think thru how I'm going to play movies and music thru a TV with a nice DAC. I will probable stream music through a streamer when I am listening to music but I would like to take advantage of my nice equipment when watching movies. Is there any streamers that I can run the toslink from my TV thru that will clean the signal and maybe change the input to the DAC like a DDC. I know I can run straight to a DAC if it has Toslink but it won't sound as good. How good would the Denafrips Gaia be if I just streamed from a laptop and ran the TV and laptop thru it? Would I need this if I get a really high end DAC? II know there are plenty of people doing this same thing so let me know what you are doing in your setup.

@mahler123 I do have HDMI and eARK. |
@1happyman I actually have an LD OLEED also. Are you using the DAC in the A8 or do you have an external DAC? |
@mswale I would love to run the signal thru the TV on everything but I don't think the signal will be the greatest. I have an exceptional Smc Audio preamp being built from Scratch. So it will need to go straight to a DAC or thru a streamer. |
