Anyone used a HDMI to stereo rca adapter

If so were there any issues and can you recommend one -

My brand new tv doesn't have rca out, only hdmi and optical and my preamp doesn't accept anything besides rca

Does it also have HDMI outputs? I’ve used these for both TV and Apple TV optical out with some success: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K2TXMO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s... There are a few well-reviewed DACs with HDMI input/output. Essence makes one I’ve been considering. Hope it helps.

I doubt your TV has HDMI output as that is rare. I just looked a some top end TV's and none have HDMI output. Some have a 1/8 mini audio out or digital out that can be used.

Good luck!

The TV is a Sony KDL-50W800C and the manual talks about HDMI to receiver using ARC, but it is an HDMI in, not out. There is a digital audio out (optical) so I can use the FiiO that dbtom2 recommended Sorry for all of the confusion, it should be obvious that I am not up to speed with current technology - hell I still use tubes :)

I ended up getting this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANIIY9I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s... It works well.
