Analog output for hifi

On my Panasonic Plasma I had an analog output for my hifi. My new OLED does not have one. I have had brain surgery and have forgotten much of my knowledge. I have a composite audio/video output and a headphone output. I know that the Headphone is a higher level out put and should be attenuated for signal output. How can I adapt the audio/video to two channel output? In essence I want the best way to get a two channel analog for my stereo hifi? It has RCA inputs

I use a short 3.5 mm to two RCA connectors cable, from the headphone output on my TV. However I get a slight hum in the audio.

Will a DAC used with the optical input to RCA output, on my TV eliminate the hum?

After reading that a DAC is the way to go, I bought a Schiit multibit bifrost for my Sony TV.  Could not be more pleased after a 2 day break in. The opinions are correct, this is a great DAC.

The DAC was $600 direct from Schiit.

Set the Sony to PCM audio output, and the DAC feeds a Pass X1, Son of Ampzilla 2000, and Magnepan IIIa speakers in my high end home theater.

Wish I used a DAC instead of headphone output sooner!
