there are converters out there that can convert eARC (HDMI) to TOSLINK etc. check your tv as well, many also have optical/coax out.
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.

fastfreight, @glennewdick I see little advantage of converting Toslink to HDMI, unless you are missing the Toslink digital input. Am I missing something? Happy Holidays All!
I was refering to go from HDMI out of your TV converted to optical for your DAC. I think i missread your post sorry. |
